You ask the w83781d driver to take care of the W83627HF chip, but also load the w83627hf driver. Both drivers will attempt to handle the same chip, this might explain the deadlock. I'd suggest that you try without loading the w83627hf driver. If the w83781d driver is able to handle both chips (the W83782D and the W83627HF) then the w83627hf driver is not needed at all. -- Jean Delvare
