This confirms that ACPI is using the SMBus so we shouldn't.

Has this the same effect as just not loading the i2c-i801 driver? Or what other functions then attaching to the SMBus has the i2c-i801? > Another test I'd like you to do is: > > # rmmod em28xx_cx25843 > # rmmod lm90 > # modprobe i2c-i801 > # modprobe i2c-dev > # i2cdetect -l > (find the i2c bus number for "SMBus I801 adapter at 18e0") > # i2cdetect n > (where n is the bus number in question) > > I wonder if this will confuse ACPI the same way loading em28xx_cx25843 > does. It does: laptop-mali:/home/mali# i2cdetect -l i2c-0 smbus SMBus I801 adapter at 18e0 SMBus adapter laptop-mali:/home/mali# cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature temperature: 41 C laptop-mali:/home/mali# i2cdetect 0 WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse! I will probe file /dev/i2c-0. I will probe address range 0x03-0x77. Continue?
