It took me a while to understand this. It is most likely me! But please 
consider rewording.

Isn't it 6 ? At least according to code below it is.. You are checking 
for id > 5.

Also with this change, you should add a check in this function to see if 
the sensors are already enabled and if yes return back. The enabling 
call from tsens.c happens for every single sensor. But at sensor number 
6 you are enabling rest of the sensors. There is absolutely no reason to 
keep doing this for rest of the sensors.

I know this is not part of this patch. But you mention above that 
earlier you were enabling all sensors one shot. Now that this is being 
done one at a time, is it needed to do a SW_RST every time ?
