Reporting as working on AN515-57-70MT #81

Hi, I just wanted to report this module as working on Aspire AN515-57-70MT (TGL Scala_TLS board V1.19 with Type2 asset, this model lacks a turbo button and has 4 zones on the keyboard) since December commits. I'm using it on Fedora 37, kernel 6.1.6-200. Somehow, it also makes another 3rd module for fan control work, namely acpi_ec made by musikid.

I was also wondering: why it is necessary to unload the default acer_wmi before loading this module? Are there any chances to make both coexist?

Hi, thank you for the report. We have to remove acer_wmi module because the current code is implemented inside the actual acer_wmi module. I believe it wasn't possible to use multiple modules for same WMI_GUIDs. So I had to replce the current acer_wmi.c file with mine. It's better to apply patches, but I didn't have time to do it.
