Thanks again,
May be I'm new to the Super I/O device, I was just curious to know more info about it, but not found much info on this device support in Linux, though I found some code/patch in Coreboot and lm-sensors.
Let me test this device using the UART driver in Linux, and hope it should work.

Do you have any indication that there is a problem ?

If not, the time to bother about it is if/when it is not working, not beforehand.
