I did this and I got the same error (no such device again).

I checked if I really had compiled the new w83627ehf.c by compiling it 
again (make clean, make cloneconfig, make menuconfig, make). 
Unfortunately, I got the error messages again when compiling the new 
w83627ehf.c. So I obviously compiled the old version in the run that had 
no problems.

So now I need help to figure out where the compile problems come from. 
The error messages are things like "initializer element is not constant" 
or "... undeclared her (not in a function)" or "missing braces around 
initializer" (this is only a warning).
I took a look at the include list at the beginning of w83627ehf.c. In 
the new version there are two additional files to be included: 
hwmon-sysfs.h and mutex.h. They can be found in the directory 
/usr/src/linux/include/linux. Do I have to tell the compiler something 
about that e. g. in a Makefile?

Sorry that I answer only today but the last days our mail server was down.

Thanks for your help.
