I can't tell from that block diagram. I tried to see if 0x61 is part of
the AMD-8111 chipset, but it seems that they have removed all downloads
from that web page
(http://www.amd.com/us/products/embedded/chipsets/Pages/other-embedded-chipset-products.aspx,
last 3 links are bad).

I would expect 0x61 to be part of the 8111 or possibly 8132 chipset.
