[Bug 992409] [NEW] lm-sensors reports incorrect temperature

[Liam]

Public bug reported:

The acpitz virtual device on my laptop reports an incorrect temperature.
This also leads to poor fan control (fan is either on full, or
completely off). I would expect the temperature to be similar to that
from k10temp.

$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:         +1.0°C  (crit = +105.0°C)

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +63.5°C  (high = +70.0°C)
