Sensors and sis5595.o

[M.Hockings]

With all the discussion a few days ago about lm-sensors and all I 
thought I'd have a go at it myself.  I was successful in getting one 
type of system to work and felt pretty smug about it.  Now in trying to 
get the sensors to register on a second system I am not all that successful.

Scanning for the sensors seems to indicate the presence of a SIS5595 and 
probably a SIS950, which would make sense as it is a SIS based MB.

Probing for `Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595'
  Trying general detect... Success!
    (confidence 9, driver `sis5595')
Probing for `ITE IT8705F / IT8712F / SiS 950'
  Trying address 0x0290... Success!
    (confidence 8, driver `it87')

The it87 module loads ok but does not seem to show any sensor data and 
the SIS5595 module does not seem to load.

A little knowledge may be dangerous.  I did some research and found out 
where to look for the 5595 sensor data.  Apparently all 0xff would 
indicate no data but that does not seem to be the case.

Does this mean that I need to get the sis5595.o source and remove the 
630 blocking or am I misinterpreting this somewhere along the way.

Kind regards,

Mike
