Given that we aren't suspecting a race condition, this type of test
isn't really helpful. More interesting would be a comparison of the
contents of /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device before and after the
patches. If the contents differ, something's wrong, else everything
should be OK - or at least there is no regression.

Thanks,
