module is sometimes causing kernel panic

With current structure of the projects, it's hard to check. One main issue is that the whole project is and older copy of this file in Linux kernel: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c with some modifications to support RGB and Turbo mode. If we manage to create a patch file from our additions to the updated version of acer-wmi.c, we may fix the issues by simply getting updated versions of the Acer driver file.

so how much time could it take

@jyash8 Right now I barely can find time to record videos for RE :( I hope someone can work on this

I think i have maybe figured out the problem due to some reason facer module can not be removed. I have attached the photo of the log when system panics. 1694189352613 Because when i tried to remove the facer module with modprobe it said "facer not found".
