~giggles~ You got the same results as I Chmouel. Incomplete support.
The problem is that the patching steps in the i2c/lm_sensors docs does
not quite a complete job. There is even a warning of that in the docs
for each where it asks you to pick a build method.
I don't think patching the kernel source prior to building is the way to
go. It takes way too much work to maintain. I think using the "build
independant from kernel tree" method described in each of i2c and
lm_sensors is needed. That can be done in a specfile.
Specifically, you will notice that support for the i2c i2c-viapro.c file
is not in `upir 2.4.0-0.5 kernel RPM however it is part of lm_sensors2
package in kernel/busses.
