[lm-sensors] Strange problem with lm-sensors and module eeprom

No, this is a change we made on purpose. There is a note about that in
the CHANGES document for release 2.10.0:

Library: NOTE: libsensors(3) will no longer see eeprom (SPD) chips
         This is intentional.  Use decode-dimms.pl if you still
         need your memory SPD data.

The rationale is that EEPROMs are not sensors, so they didn't belong to
libsensors in the first place.
