We can probably go even further. The w83627ehf driver says that 0x885x
corresponds to the W83627EHF and 0x886x corresponds to the W83627EHG.
While the datasheet doesn't mention anything like this, it seems to be
correct on all chips I (and others) have checked. For example my
W83627EHG has ID 0x8868.

So we could have 2 entries in sensors-detect, one for the W83627EHF/EF
and one for the W83627EHG/EG. It would be more precise, and it also has
the advantage that the mask(s) would be narrower. What do you think?
