An update that has two fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for sensors fixes the sensors-detect script to skip "random" I/O port probing on non-x86 systems. Attempting to detect such ports could lead to kernel faults on ARM64 systems. (bsc#1008552)

Additionally, it fixes CPU detection support on ppc architectures. (bsc#999987)
