 I hope someone who is responsible will re-open this PR.
 I have encountered the same problem on 5.2-RELEASE-p2, as
 I mentioned in PR 62438.
 
 Actually I enable the following devices as shown in viapm(4)
 man page:
 device          smbus
 device          smb
 device          viapm
 device          iicbb
 device          iicbus
 device          iicsmb
 
 "Frozen console" in PR 62438 is rather obscure.
 To be precise, it never display keyboard input and non-kernel
 output (fsck result, rc.d echoes and login prompt), while
 it displays kernel messages. Remote services are A.O.K. as Herr Recht.
