Kernel 3.14 - hwmon acpitz disappeared

Hello,

after upgrading to Kernel 3.14 my hwmon folder with the name acpitz is gone.
With Kernel 3.13.8-1 I had 3 hwmon folders in /sys/class/hwmon, now there are only 2.
After that update I can't get my video/cpu-temperature (on my notebook (thinkpad l412) and on my netbook (EEEPC 1005PE). Furthermore I can't adjust the brightness anymore on my netbook.

Currently I downgraded to 3.13 again, but this is a little weird.

Thanks for the help!

Dunno if it is forbidden to bump, but the problem persists with 3.14.1-1...

Would appreciate any help very much!

Kernel configuration CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON is not set.

http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/THERMAL_HWMON.html:
"In case a sensor is registered with the thermal framework, this option will also register it as a hwmon. The sensor will then have the common hwmon sysfs interface.
Say 'Y' here if you want all thermal sensors to have hwmon sysfs interface too."
