I don't think so. Many of the superio chips have different labels - we would
end up spending a lot of time trying to keep the labels up to date.
Besides, that chip can also be labeled as NCT6772F or NCT6771F.
So it should read
w83627ehf: Found NCT6775F, or NCT6771F, or NCT6772F, or NCT5572D chip at 0x290
which would get a bit awkward. And then there is its original name, W83677HG-I,
which we would presumably have to add as well.
