The asus-nb-wmi driver is matched by WMI alias but fails to load on TUF
Gaming series laptops producing multiple ACPI errors in kernel log. Patch
was tested on TUF Gaming FX505GM and older K54C model.
The input buffer for WMI method invocation size is 2 dwords, whereas
3 are expected by this model.
FX505GM:
..
Method (WMNB, 3, Serialized)
{
P8XH (Zero, 0x11)
CreateDWordField (Arg2, Zero, IIA0)
CreateDWordField (Arg2, 0x04, IIA1)
CreateDWordField (Arg2, 0x08, IIA2)
Local0 = (Arg1 & 0xFFFFFFFF)
...
Compare with older K54C:
...
Method (WMNB, 3, NotSerialized)
{
CreateDWordField (Arg2, 0x00, IIA0)
CreateDWordField (Arg2, 0x04, IIA1)
Local0 = (Arg1 & 0xFFFFFFFF)
...
Increase buffer size to 3 dwords. No negative consequences of this change
are expected, as input buffer size is not verified. The original function
is replaced by a wrapper for a new method passing value 0 for the last
parameter. The new function will be used to control RGB keyboard
backlight.
