I think you really mean VT8237?

It has. Anyway, usually sensors-detect doesn't depend on the kernel
(apart from a very few quirks with hidden pci devides, maybe that's
what you have here...)

The i2c-viapro driver is a bus driver. It gives you access to sensor
chips but doesn't drive them by itself. You need to find out which chip
driver you need. Sensors-detect *should* tell you which. If it doesn't,
maybe you have an unsupported chip, or no compatible chip at all (usual
on laptops). You may send the whole output of sensors-detect for
analysis. Do not forget to unload all i2c-related drivers before so as
not to confuse sensors-detect.
