Hi Jean This is Chunhao. > From previous reports from users, I suspect that the W83792D is not a > Super-I/O chip (the location it appears at on the Winbond website seems > to confirm that) but more likely an SMBus device, like the W83791D is. > In fact the 792D seems to be an evolution of the 791D.

Yes, you are right. 792D is an evolution of 791D. it is NOT a Super I/O. > As a side note, I noticed that the w83781d driver in Linux 2.6 doesn't > support the W83791D chip. Thus I would propose that Huang starts a new > driver for the W83792D, even if it is based of the w83781d.c code, and, > if the 791D and 792D are mostly compatible as I suspect, include support > for the 791D to the new driver, so that we can remove it from the > w83781d driver. This has two advantages: > 1* Better symmetry between 2.4 and 2.6. > 2* The new driver would be I2C only so cleaner and smaller. Yes. I absolutely agree with you. I started a new driver for 792D, which is w83792d.c, at least half of its function has been finished. I use W83781d.c as my reference, and delete all the codes related with ISA, because 792D only be I2C. > We never received your original post.
