Ok, I did some more debuging. 

You should actually see another message just before the oops, along the
line of 

	w83627ehf: unsupported chip ID: 0x469c

With some mode debug messages added, turns out the driver believes that
the "force" parameter is set to 0x469c. That parameter is not
initialized, because it should be set to 0, but even if I set it to 0
explicitly it still claims to be set to 0x469c.

If I change the force_id variable type to int, it claims to be set to
0xc1a04694. Not much better.

That still does not explain the oops .. the driver should simply bail
out in this case. It does return from sensors_w83627ehf_init() with
-ENODEV, but still seems to call _probe ... or, rather, it seems to jump
directly into the bad code, since I don't see any output from a debug
message placed at the beginning of the _probe function.

No idea what is going on. This is really odd. I may try to do some
research on the web tonight to see if anyone else has seen a similar
problem.
