Sorry, I think we're not understanding each other :)
Does the PCH samples the values directly from the probes? Or is it an
interface for the real monitoring chip (most likely the superio chip)?
In the latter case it might be possible to access directly the
monitoring hardware using another driver (e.g. w83627ehf, lm80, etc.),
thus racing against the PCI driver.
Did I make myself clear?
I don't think there's any other chip. On systems using external chips,
this PCI device will simply be disabled by the BIOS before the OS boots.
Ok, good.
The other potential issue is asus_atk0110 driver; ASUS boards have a
ACPI interface to the hwmon stuff.
Will check with my testers.
Well, on my P7P55D PRO board, this PCI device does not show up. I assume
the BIOS disables it because the board uses its own monitoring hardware.
