Do not use _test_bit() macro for testing bit. The proper macro for this
is one without underline.
_test_bit() is what test_bit() was prior to const-optimization. It
directly calls arch_test_bit(), i.e. the arch-specific implementation
(or the generic one). It's strictly _internal_ and shouldn't be used
anywhere outside the actual test_bit() macro.
test_bit() is a wrapper which checks whether the bitmap and the bit
number are compile-time constants and if so, it calls the optimized
function which evaluates this call to a compile-time constant as well.
If either of them is not a compile-time constant, it just calls _test_bit().
test_bit() is the actual function to use anywhere in the kernel.
IOW, calling _test_bit() avoids potential compile-time optimizations.
The sensors is not a compile-time constant, thus most probably there
are no object code changes before and after the patch.
But anyway, we shouldn't call internal wrappers instead of
the actual API.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
