I have no clue, and it isn't a sane fallback as the uguru is a piece of 
software running on a microcontroller, which just happens to be produced 
by winbond, but it is totally different from the w83627ehf chip.

I really should teach sensors-detect about the abituguru one of these 
days, but that would probably require identifying by dmi data as the 
uguru otherwise is almost impossible to detect with reasonable certainty.
