Your issue is likely triggered by setting radeon.hw_i2c=1. Is it really
necessary to get your system working?

lm-sensors just parses some file in /sys/class/hwmon, so the bug is
actually in the kernel. To identify the faulty kernel module (likely
related to radeon), could you please run the following command and send
the output to this bug report:

  strace -tt sensors

That will help to better identify the issue.
