If you look at the DSDT attached there you can clearly see nodes defines which should lead to e.g. : /sys/bus/platform/devices/INT33C2:00 Showing up (which should then be bound by i2c-designware-platform). But nothing is showing up, not a single ACPI defined device shows up actually: [root@asusx550 devices]# ll insgesamt 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 22.

Jul 14:56 serial8250 -> ../../../devices/platform/serial8250 Which is weird, since any recent machine usually has at least one or 2 show up. Therefor I would like to ask your help with figuring out how to get the device nodes defined in the DSDT to actual show up. Thanks & Regards, Hans
