Dear all,
I hope this e-mail finds you well.
I am writing to bring up an issue I have experienced since upgrading to
the Linux kernel 6.12.1:
I have been unable to set max battery charging, keyboard brightness, and
actioning special keys (micmute, enable touchpad, etc.).
With the help of the Archlinux devs
(https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=301341), the issue was found
to have been introduced by
kernel patch b012170fed282151f7ba8988a347670c299f5ab3
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b012170fed282151f7ba8988a347670c299f5ab3),
leading to the kernel being unable to load asus_nb_wmi.
Reverting that patch fixes all of the aforementioned issues. Please see
the Archlinux bbs thread for full logs and steps taken to identify said
patch as the cause of the regression.
While I do not possess the technical skills to help developing and
implementing a fix, I would be keen to help out testing possible
solutions on my hardware.
Thank you, and kind regards,
Edoardo Brogiolo
