This bus is used by several manufacturers to control motherboard RGB lighting via embedded controllers.  I have been using this bus in my OpenRGB project to control the Aura RGB on many motherboards and ASRock also uses this bus for their Polychrome RGB controller.

In order for this patch to be acceptable, this would need to be turned
into a proper Signed-off-by statement. Please see:

I'm a bit worried about this change. Sure it works on the systems which
do have the second SMBus channel, but what about the systems which
don't? If there no device revision that needs to be checked to ensure
that the second channel is present?

This patch needs to be tested on tested on systems with CZ-compatible
CPUs which do not have the second SMBus channel. Or do you believe they
all do have it?
