Oh, it seems to be little different but I have the same 'VT82C686A/B ACPI 
Power Management Controller'..

===============================
none0_at_pci0:7:4: class=0x0c0500 card=0x30571106 chip=0x30571106 rev=0x40 
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
    device   = 'VT82C686A/B ACPI Power Management Controller'
    class    = serial bus <-- diff here..
    subclass = SMBus      <-- diff here..
===============================
