You could certainly test that the nct6775-platform driver still works as 
it did previously, which would be good to confirm -- you'll need to 
enable CONFIG_SENSORS_NCT6775_PLATFORM now to build it.

 From what I've been able to find about that board though it looks like 
it doesn't have a BMC, so testing the i2c driver on it probably isn't 
going to be possible.  (Even if it does in fact have a BMC, it would 
require at least a partial port of OpenBMC or similar, and re-flashing 
your BMC firmware with that, and is hence a non-trivial undertaking.)
