Yes, Gong Jun (Cc'd) is working on adding support to the w83627ehf
driver already. He posted a patch [1] which I have reviewed [2] and
updated a bit [3]. It might be a bit difficult to grab from the list
archive so I am making it temporarily available for download at:
http://jdelvare.pck.nerim.net/sensors/hwmon-add-support-for-w83667hg.patch
You are very welcome to test it and report.

At this point I consider the patch usable but it needs some more work
for upstream acceptance (at least in the form of a comment about the
in6 special code, and maybe some related code changes.) I am waiting
for Gong Jun to comment on my review.

BTW, is this system still in use? We moved support for all FSC chips to
a unified driver (fschmd). If your system still works, you might want
to give it a try and report how it's doing for you.
