I've tested Linus git tree from right now + hwmon-next and I cannot
make it crash.
The driver seems to work fine here and temperature reportings are very accurate
on all HDDs on that box. ( 8 x Seagate IronWolf 2 TB (ST2000VN004) )

What I've noticed however is the nvme temperature low/high values on
the Sensors X are strange here.
I'm not sure it is a v5.5 issue or a hwmon-next one right now, I
didn't boot a vanilla v5.5-rc5 yet.

Both nvme's are Samsung SSD 960 EVO 250GB.

They look like this:

nvme-pci-1300
Adapter: PCI adapter
Composite:    +27.9ÂC  (low  = -273.1ÂC, high = +76.8ÂC)
                      (crit = +78.8ÂC)
Sensor 1:     +27.9ÂC  (low  = -273.1ÂC, high = +65261.8ÂC)
Sensor 2:     +29.9ÂC  (low  = -273.1ÂC, high = +65261.8ÂC)

nvme-pci-6100
Adapter: PCI adapter
Composite:    +23.9ÂC  (low  = -273.1ÂC, high = +76.8ÂC)
                      (crit = +78.8ÂC)
Sensor 1:     +23.9ÂC  (low  = -273.1ÂC, high = +65261.8ÂC)
Sensor 2:     +25.9ÂC  (low  = -273.1ÂC, high = +65261.8ÂC)
