I will try to build this driver and report if it shows anything.

It looks like it's my own blunder: I have confused w83_2_627 to w83627
:) and taking into consideration ASRock's documentation my chip is
indeed made by Nuvoton and it's currently unsupported - I'm eagerly
awaiting patches to be merged.
