Your patch:
* Doesn't apply on top of the version of the coretemp driver I have on
  my hwmon stack [1].
* Once manually fixed to apply, fails to compile.

Can you please provide a patch which at least applies and compiles, so
that users have a chance to test it? Other than that, it looks good.
Please resubmit. Thanks.
