[Bug 403868] [NEW] Sensors plugin does not obey "ignore" configuration line

[Andrew Cleveland]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cpufreqd

Release: Ubuntu 9.04
Package: cpufreqd 2.3.3-4

Current behavior: The sensors plugin does not honor the "ignore" line in sensors.conf. This makes it impossible to choose between two features with the same name on different chips.
My sensors.conf:
chip "it8716-*"
chip "k8temp-*"
ignore temp1

Both chips have a feature named temp1, but the one for k8temp is garbage.
Cpufreqd.conf line: sensor=temp1:55-100
On my system, cpufreqd picks the first feature named "temp1" it finds, which is the one attached to k8temp. There is no way to make it pick the it8716 chip.

Expected behavior: if a certain feature on a chip is set to "ignore" in
sensors.conf, cpufreqd's sensor plugin will not use it.

A patch is attached that fixes the problem for me. I have reported the
bug upstream but I'm not sure how often it is updated.
