70762ab from 11/2014 (i2c: Use stable dev_name for ACPI enumerated I2C
slaves) modified the sysfs-visible dev_name() for ACPI enumerated I2C
devices.  With that change, /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0-004a, for
example, became /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-PNPXXXX:xx

That causes problems for userspace code such as 'sensors' which does
this:

lib/sysfs.c:665:
if ((!subsys || !strcmp(subsys, "i2c")) &&
    sscanf(dev_name, "%hd-%x", &entry.chip.bus.nr,
           &entry.chip.addr) == 2) {
...

Fix 'sensors' by reverting the kernel change.
