This isn't really a good approach. These aren't standardised ACPI
methods, so you have no guarantee that they exist. The fact that a
method with one of these names exists is no guarantee that it has the
same behaviour as the ones on your board. There's no guarantee that
you're not racing against the firmware.

These systems simply don't safely support OS-level i2c access.
