I am also trying to use lm-sensors on an Asus P5B Dlx board with the
same Winbond chip.  I've been getting the same results using the latest
Feisty kernel, 2.6.20-14-generic.

I've taken the patch file referenced and applied it to a custom kernel
build based on the current linux-source-2.6.20 source package and the
'.config' file from the 2.6.20-14-generic kernel.  The driver file
patched without error, but the patch failed on the Documentation file.
I ignored the error and compiled anyway.  The patched driver does now
recognize the chip and the modprobe returns no erros.  All 3 required
drivers from sensors-detect appear in lsmod.

I still haven't gotten ls-sensors working, but it doesn't appear to be a
driver issue anymore.  Now I just neat to play with the configuration.

Let me know if I can be of help getting this into the final release
kernel.

Chris
