WITH module

	lsmod | grep asus_atk
		asus_atk0110           24576  0

but WITHOUT cmd line

	... acpi_enforce_resources=lax ...


`sensors` returns ONLY the limited

	sensors
		k10temp-pci-00c3
		Adapter: PCI adapter
		Tdie:         +34.4°C  (high = +70.0°C)
		Tctl:         +34.4°C

OTOH, switching, WITHOUT module

	lsmod | grep asus_atk
		(empty)

and WITH cmd line

	... acpi_enforce_resources=lax ...


`sensors` returns the full(er) output, as posted.

note again, in this case, even ATTEMPTING to load asus_atk0110 FAILs due to the apparent conflict with the =lax spec'n.
