That is part of it. However, the entire code is wrong. There is no need
to check for I2C address overlap in the first place, and the i2c address
for the second 'virtual' chip should start with 0x4c, not with 0x48.
See w83793g/w83793ag datasheet, section 8.3.2.2.
I assume the code was copied from w83791d and w83792d, where the addresses
can indeed overlap.
