| 72 | Except for the oldest chips (VT82C596A/B, VT82C686A and most probably | |
| 73 | VT8231), this driver supports I2C block transactions. Such transactions | |
| 74 | are mainly useful to read from and write to EEPROMs. | |

76 | The CX700/VX800/VX820 additionally appears to support SMBus PEC, although |
| 77 | this driver doesn't implement it yet. |
