From the Kernel Documentation:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hwmon/via686a
Module Parameters
-----------------
force_addr=0xaddr Set the I/O base address. Useful for boards that
don't set the address in the BIOS. Look for a BIOS
upgrade before resorting to this. Does not do a
PCI force; the via686a must still be present in lspci.
Don't use this unless the driver complains that the
base address is not set.
Example: 'modprobe via686a force_addr=0x6000'
So, if you need to set this (that is, if a BIOS upgrade is unavailable
or does not fix things), create a file /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf, with the
contents "options via686a force_addr=0xaddr" (where 0xaddr is an
appropriate value).
