Our fancontrol script doesn't support this at the moment. Only hwmon kernel drivers can be used as thermal sources for the speed regulation. There have been discussions in the past to either improve fancontrol to accept arbitrary temperature sources [1] or to integrate hardware temperature monitoring in libsensors [2]. However, neither happened yet. The former is unlikely to happen ever, as fancontrol started as a hack and isn't really meant to become more flexible than it is today. The latter will probably happen but it may take long (several months if not years.)
