-Module Parameters
------------------
-
-* force_addr: int
- Initialize the ISA address of the sensors
-* force_i2c: int
- Initialize the I2C address of the sensors
-* init: int
- (default is 1)
- Use 'init=0' to bypass initializing the chip.
- Try this if your computer crashes when you load the module.

-Description
------------
-
-This driver implements support for ISA accesses *only* for
-the Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83697HF and W83637HF Super I/O chips.
-We will refer to them collectively as Winbond chips.
-
-This driver supports ISA accesses, which should be more reliable
-than i2c accesses. Also, for Tyan boards which contain both a
-Super I/O chip and a second i2c-only Winbond chip (often a W83782D),
-using this driver will avoid i2c address conflicts and complex
-initialization that were required in the w83781d driver.
-
-If you really want i2c accesses for these Super I/O chips,
-use the w83781d driver. However this is not the preferred method
-now that this ISA driver has been developed.
-
-Technically, the w83627thf does not support a VID reading. However, it's
-possible or even likely that your mainboard maker has routed these signals
-to a specific set of general purpose IO pins (the Asus P4C800-E is one such
-board). The w83627thf driver now interprets these as VID. If the VID on
-your board doesn't work, first see doc/vid in the lm_sensors package. If
-that still doesn't help, email us at lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org.
-
-For further information on this driver see the w83781d driver
-documentation.
