I have added an entry for that chip to our wiki Devices page. Thanks a
lot for contributing code for your hardware, this is very appreciated.

Shouldn't this rather be w83795.c? This would be consistent with the
other driver names and with your sensors-detect patch.

I have adjusted this patch so that it applies on top of 3.1.0 (there
have been a lot of changes in sensors-detect between 3.0.3 and 3.1.0.)
Can you please send me a dump of your W83795 chip so that I can test
the code before I commit it? You can obtain such a dump using the
i2c-dev kernel driver and "i2cdump" from the i2c-tools package:

# modprobe i2c-dev
# i2cdump 0 0x2d b

Replace 0 with the actual I2C bus number your chip sits on and 0x2d
with the actual I2C address of the chip. Remember to first unload the
w83795 driver if it is loaded.

Unfortunately I will not have the time to do more. Maybe later when
there are actual motherboards with this chip and users start asking for
support...
