Kyosti Malkki 79aed13889 (Kyösti) Support for the sensor hardware in SiS 5595. This has an
integrated LM78, so the driver is only a customized copy of lm78.c
This southbridge can also do i2c, but this not enough documented in
the datasheet. So i2c is currently not supported.

Some cosmetic changes for VIA driver and documentation.

i2c-via is an i2c bus driver for motherboards with VIA chipset.
The following VIA pci chipsets are supported:
- MVP3, VP3, VP2/97, VPX/97
- others with South bridge VT82C586B
Your /proc/pci or lspci listing must show this :
Bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586B ACPI (rev 10)
To install this driver, simply do
# modprobe i2c-via
Problems?
Q: You have VT82C586B on the motherboard, but not in the listing.
A: Go to your BIOS setup, section PCI devices or similar.
Turn USB support on, and try again.
Q: No error messages, but still i2c doesn't seem to work.
A: This can happen. This driver uses the pins VIA recommends in their
datasheets, but there are several ways the motherboard manufacturer
can actually wire the lines.
