    If that means that for example the ACPI thermal zone is no longer
    displayed by "sensors", then I strongly object - unless it is
    explicitly registered as a separate hwmon device from now on, of course.

    My idea was to make the bridge optional - you decide when you register
    a thermal device if it should be exposed as hwmon or not.

    I don't have a strong opinion on the implementation, as long as each
    input is listed by "sensors" once and only once.
