The F71808A is not 100% compatible with the F71808E, at it has less
voltage inputs for one. I've not yet checked the entire datasheet of
the F71808A to see if there are any other differences.

I saw further down the thread that your BIOS ACPI tables / code claims
to own the io ranges which are used for the hwmon part. May I ask on which
kind of device / motherboard you have a F71808A, is this in a laptop or
on a regular motherboard, and which model?
