[entity-manager] Question about temperature sensor stops update

[Andrei Kartashev]

Hello,

I didn't catch, what is your problem. As I see from the logs,
everything is fine: temp sensors instantiated, dbus objects created,
readings present. What's wrong?

As for FruDevice: yes, it's kind of weird behaviour: it exposes not
only actual FRU devices but also other I2C devices. You can introspect
that objects and see that they exposes
xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Item.I2CDevice interface instead of
xyz.openbmc_project.FruDevice
