We can, and actually I have a local patch fixing it. I am only waiting
for lm-sensors 2.10.3 to be finally released before I commit it. I'm
attaching said patch to this post if you want to take a look and/or
give it a try. Basically, the idea is to test the families from the
shorter enter sequence (actually empty, for the National Semiconductor
chips) to the longer, and to stop as soon as one sequence was found to
work (regardless of whether or not a known chip was found.)

Hmm, yes, I guess you'll have to.
