It would show at 0x2d, so it cannot conflict with your Winbond chip
(which is at 0x2c).

Anyway, I'm not even sure recent IT8712F chips really have an SMBus
interface. Later datasheets don't mention it anymore. We'll probably
drop SMBus interface support from the it87 driver at some point in the
future. ISA access is faster and always works (or can be made to work.)

Thanks,
