Unfortunately, the sensors-detect only reported "No" for each Super I/O chip test, while the superiotool gave an unhelpful "No Super I/O chip detected" message.
I haven't heard a response yet from WinSystems, but I'll give them a couple days before sending another email to their engineering department. For now, I'll submit a version 4 of this patch to get the minor updates I made out for review; for what its worth, I believe the dmi_match method will be sufficient until I get an update from WinSystems helping me get a proper check to identify the Super I/O chip.
