I assume that is this commit?
commit d72d19c26c417d514787ae85b197af34de286c0a
Author: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

hwmon: (coretemp) Convert to use
devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups
Simplify code, reduce code size, and attach sysfs attributes to
hwmon device.
For this driver, the only attribute created is the name attribute.
Other attributes are still created and removed dynamically as
cores
are added or removed.

Dunno. When I switch the mode from PWM to voltage control, fan does
speed up a lot. So there is _some_ control from the w83627ehf.

This was 3.18 or 3.19-rc. Probably latter.

Ok, let me take a look...
