Bus number substitution doesn't affect the device names

Description (last modified by khali) (diff)

The "bus" statements in sensors.conf only affect the chip statements in that configuration file. Wouldn't it be better if the bus numbers were also substituted in the list of available chips reported by libsensors, so that users and applications can make sure that a given device will always have the same name, regardless of the order in which the i2c bus drivers were loaded?

It would also make it possible to reliably select a given chip on sensors' command line.
