Hi Björn,

Yes, I can take a look at updating our nct6775 driver to get support for 
latest devices added. It will probably be the weekend before I get time 
to look at it, but I'll post back here. We were using using Guenter 
Roeck's out-of-tree source on github for this driver, but I see Guenter 
is no longer maintaining it there, so I'll backport from kernel.org as 
you suggest.
