You are saying there is some regression. This used to work and now it
doesn't work. Is raw values are displayed correctly, when you do "cat"?
If cat of raw values is working then power on of sensors is working.

Turn on HID debug prints. If it is regression we can do git bisect.
Any ACPI or PM changes can break this. Usually there will be GPIOs
which will be involved in power on, where ACPI comes into play. This
will be done by i2c-hid. There are some prints in i2c-hid which can be
enabled also.
