Commit 70762abb9f89 ("i2c: Use stable dev_name for ACPI enumerated I2C slaves") broke the lm-sensors which relies on I2C hwmon slave devices under /sys/bus/i2c/devices/ to be named as "x-00yz".

Don't you think there will be regressions given that the new naming scheme was around for 18 months?
acpi is pretty long term. New bindings don't show up quickly. So I am not surprised that this only shows up now.
Will there be regressions ? Who knows. What we do know is that there are regressions today due to the original change.
