Support Gigabyte B550M AORUS ELITE

[s-kostyuk]

B550M AORUS ELITE (v1.3) uses the IT8689 super I/O chip:

Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `ITE'...                                      Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x8689

The WMI driver loads and populates the hwmon interface with force-load=1:

Talking about fans - I managed to read the RPM values using the frankcrawford/it87 DKMS driver and acpi_enforce_resources=lax in the kernel boot parameters. I have no idea about the fan readout support via WMI. Probably it is supported, but not documented, since I can control the fans via a proprietary tool from Gigabyte on Windows.

Thanks for the report!

I won't do anything about it right now, as beginning with 6.5 the whole allowlist and force_load will completely go away.
So force_load=1 will effectively will be the default.
Unfortunately in the meantime we can't add new hardware IDs, so it will be a bit annoying during the transition phase.

Unfortunately anything involving acpi_enforce_resources=lax is a complete no-go for upstream defaults.

It is fine. I am using the old Ubuntu 5.19 kernel anyway, so will resort to the force_load=1 workaround in modprobe.d.

Unfortunately anything involving acpi_enforce_resources=lax is a complete no-go for upstream defaults.

I understand that. What I am saying is that this option is available for experimentation. Whether we do any experiments with it is a separate question.

Thank you.

If someone figures out how to change RPM values via WMI this would absolutely be a candidate for this driver.
I was not able to do so far.

Hello guys, I am using a gigabyte b850m aorus elite ice board, on the ite it8696e controller I mistakenly downloaded a file from the gigabyte website (ITE inboxI2C predefine up v1.0.0.9) and installed it, after which the rgb backlight stopped working (turning on the control does not work). it doesn't work or show up in any program) and only after that I decided to look at the file, and as it turned out, it was a file for the gigabyte b650m aorus elite ice board.I ask you, who have such a board or such a controller, save the firmware. I do not know what exactly it is called, it is responsible for rgb illumination.I'm sorry for the mistakes. I communicate through an interpreter.

Is Linux supported?
