The asus-nb-wmi driver is matched by WMI alias but fails to load on TUF
Gaming series laptops producing multiple ACPI errors in the kernel log.
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 the 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
