--- Comment #54 from Mateusz Jończyk (mat.jonczyk@o2.pl) ---
Hello,

I was doing some preparatory work to implement the solution in comment 47 -
like analysis of source code.

Unfortunately, it seems like this solution would only work for ASUS boards. All
the acpidump outputs in this ticket are from ASUS boards. The "RHWM" and "WHWM"
methods are from an interface with UID="ASUSWMI", so they look to be
asus-specific.

For ASUS boards there exists a better driver:

https://github.com/electrified/asus-wmi-sensors

so there is probably no reason to implement direct access to nct6775.

Are there any benefits from implementing access to nct6775 as outlined above?

Greetings,
