I own the same chipest here, which it is support in 4.x and no longer in 
5.x.. :-( Note that, I only check in the 5.x's NOTES and haven't tried to 
put some opinion from 4.x to 5.x yet. I don't know if it will work.

In 4.x, you just add in the kernel config following:

===============================
# VT82C686A/B ACPI Power Management Controller
device		smbus
device		viapm

device		iicbus
device		iicbb

device		ic
device		iic
device		iicsmb
===============================

I would like to see someone to bring 4.x drivers to 5.x as well. Too bad, I 
know nothing with C, but just a hello world.

Cheers,
Mezz
