41	Description
42	-----------
43	
44	i2c-viapro is a true SMBus host driver for motherboards with one of the
45	supported VIA south bridges.
46	
47	Your lspci -n listing must show one of these :
48	
49	 device 1106:3050   (VT82C596A function 3)
50	 device 1106:3051   (VT82C596B function 3)
51	 device 1106:3057   (VT82C686 function 4)
52	 device 1106:3074   (VT8233)
53	 device 1106:3147   (VT8233A)
54	 device 1106:8235   (VT8231 function 4)
55	 device 1106:3177   (VT8235)
56	 device 1106:3227   (VT8237R)
57	 device 1106:3337   (VT8237A)
58	 device 1106:3372   (VT8237S)
59	 device 1106:3287   (VT8251)
60	 device 1106:8324   (CX700)
61	 device 1106:8353   (VX800/VX820)
62	 device 1106:8409   (VX855/VX875)
63	 device 1106:8410   (VX900)
64	
65	If none of these show up, you should look in the BIOS for settings like
66	enable ACPI / SMBus or even USB.
67	
68	Except for the oldest chips (VT82C596A/B, VT82C686A and most probably
69	VT8231), this driver supports I2C block transactions. Such transactions
70	are mainly useful to read from and write to EEPROMs.
71	
72	The CX700/VX800/VX820 additionally appears to support SMBus PEC, although
73	this driver doesn't implement it yet.
