I don't know.  It's one that Stuart Henderson sent me.  I'll ask if it 
will be in the upcoming 5.6 release. One thing that should be noted, I 
disabled upd at boot before I started upsd and upsmon. Below is Stuart's 
reply from the message with the patch.

Thanks for your help.

Ah - you already sent the dmesg for that.. To get NUT to work properly
I think you will need to add this and build a new kernel. This knocks it
out from attaching as a HID device (as needed for upd) - attaching as a
HID device means that libusb has less control over it.

A better solution would be to allow the device to attach to upd, and write a
NUT driver that queries the hw.sensors sysctls rather than having NUT talk
USB to the device.
