No. This code is currently scheduled for 3.4.

The sensors update with the fix is scheduled for about a week out, well before 3.3 ships.
The code in next for 3.4 is perhaps 4-6 months out from a kernel release. That seems like plenty of time for distros to get an update package for sensors together.
