Hi SWmail,
Unfortunately the kernel is currently frozen for Jaunty's final release, but I imagine this should qualify for a stable release update. I'm pasting the upstream git commit id for the kernel team to reference. Thanks.

hwmon: (it87) Add support for the ITE IT8720F
Allow it87.c to handle IT8720 chipset like IT8718 in order to
retrieve voltage, temperatures and fans speed from sensors
tools. Also updating the related documentation.
