This is a *misdetection*, which means that this driver should not be
loaded. So there's no bug here.

These are two different modules. w83627hf is for hardware monitoring,
w83627hf_wdt is a watchdog driver. If you don't have w83627hf, it's
because the kernel coming with MDK 10 is not recent enough. The driver
was added in version 2.6.5.

You have the only chip being supported by both drivers (W83627HF on ISA
bus). w83627hf driver is prefered (it's smaller in size), but w83781d
still works. You can go on with it until MDK has a kernel update.

So there's no real bug IMHO.
