This firmware seem to be using ACPI mutex named \_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.SIO1.MUT0 to
guard access to the nct chip registers.

I wonder, can we rely on these mutexes, whose names seem to be quite stable, as
well, instead of the WMI functions? Then accessing nct registers would become
simpler: lock ACPI mutex if needed, access registers always in the regular way,
unlock the mutex.
