I added detection to sensors-detect but I'm not too happy with the outcome:
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     Yes
Found `SMSC SCH5627 Desktop Embedded Controller'
   (but not activated)

The chip shouldn't be probed at all since it's non-standard. Users
might get confused by the 'not activated' message and will ask how to
activate it. Is there a way to bypass the probing and just print a
message that there is no driver for this chip?
