I applied this patch to my current Fedora 10 kernel but the patched
module fails to load:
root@underground ~ # modprobe w83627ehf
FATAL: Error inserting w83627ehf
(/lib/modules/2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.x86_64/kernel/drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.ko):
No such device

I haven't tried with a vanilla kernel yet. I don't usually run them.

Interestingly, sensors-detect says the device has a different ID:

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'...                       Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0xa513
    (logical device B has address 0x290, could be sensors)
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Fintek'...                       No
Trying family `ITE'...                                      No
