Yea, i realized my mistake a couple of minutes after writing that post, that module was the one i had compiled in the past and it was still present in the "Task Schedule" post upgrade.
I've used the 920+ geminilake package (Asrock J5005 board) that has a NCT6796D chip. This one is not present in the drivers int 4.4.180+, currently my attempts to compile them are leading to kernel panics.
Will update the post with the drivers when i have a functioning one.
