Oops, obviously the driver isn't from your kernel but the one you got
from Guenter. So no need to install the kernel debugging package, only
gdb, and then modify the Makefile to include the debugging symbols:

EXTRA_CFLAGS	+= -DDEBUG

And then rebuild the w83627ehf driver. That should be enough for gdb to
show us where the failure occurred.

Also note: if you update your kernel, you have to rebuild the w83627ehf
driver.
