This also is very old and about potentially flawed HW.
The driver is for K8 from 2009

Look at the code: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/hwmon/k8temp.c#L157
And why it was added: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/bb9a35f293a3c8b5d57253cdfe2f29fa2627e1b9
And if you are curious details for #141 in: https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/33610.PDF

This is a valid warning about flawed HW and IMHO not a bug.
