Description

Just want to ask if theres some forthcoming in getting support for PC8374L chip. I have seen some posts regarding this topic:

Our partner has a bunch of Dell R200 for which sensors-detect does detect this kind of chipset. 

Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   Yes
Found `Nat. Semi. PC8374L Super IO Sensors'                 
    (but not activated)

It would be very useful too have sensoring support on them.

This might be a duplicate of  #2134. The Winbond PC8374L (now known as the  Nuvoton WPCD374L) seems to be typically used through Intel's Quiet System Technology (QST), which uses the Management Engine integrated into their recent ICH8, ICH9 and ICH10 southbridges via a protocol that Intel has not yet disclosed. Intel's  OpenAMT open source project has developed a driver for the management engine, but hasn't gotten around to QST support for Linux so far despite having been in development for over a year now.

I wouldn't expect proper QST support soon, since once the interfaces to QST are made available, sensor code for it would have to be written by the lm_sensors project.
