I was wondering the other day why this is so.

If the emulated lm75 chips are well emulated, then why not use the lm75 
driver to talk with them?  It would certainly make the winbond drivers 
simpler as they would only have to deal with a single i2c address.

How do you access the lm75's via the ISA bus?  Does the winbond appear 
to be an i2c bus controller at the ISA address?  If so, would creating a 
"i2c-winbondisa" bus driver simplify things some more?

:v)
