Yeah, there's weird shit going on with the sensor/control registration.
I think GCC is be miscompiling it -- the sequence of
	all = all && pm121_register_control(foo...);
	all = all && pm121_register_control(bar...);
is bailing out as soon as 'all' gets set to zero. Despite the fact that
pm121_register_control() quite blatantly has side-effects.
