This patch causes conflicts in -next due to commit 835896a59b95
("hwmon/coretemp: Cosmetic: Rename internal variables to zones
from packages"), which is not being submitted through the hwmon
subsystem. Unfortunately, the conflicts are more substantial than
I thought and not trivial. Since I have no control over the
conflicting patch, I decided to drop this patch from the hwmon
subsystem commit queue.

Please feel free to resubmit after the commit window closes.
I would suggest to drop the coretemp driver from the patch since
I don't know if further changes outside my control will be made
to that driver.

Sorry for the trouble.
