Does the size (and the default config breakage!) change anything from 
your ends ?
the patch is easy to do ( perl -pi.bak -e 's/SENSORS_/HWMON_/'),
and easy to test (make allmodconfig - I didnt do this before, sorry)
but its not clear that its value-in-clarity is worth the churn (seen by 
everyone who builds)
