We are trying to be somewhat consistant. But don't rely on that. You
can't. And you will see what we mean the first time you see an ipmi(4)
esm(4), or other such sensor coming from a non-i2c device, where the
machine gives us the name. Those are more inconsistant than what we
have. If you think you can just do it from the name, then don't -- do
it from the sensor type.
Ok, best way is trial and error. :-)
Thank you for your responses, and the nice sensors framework.
