How does this driver compare to asus-wmi-sensors? #27

I'm asking for a specific reason: my Prime X470-Pro motherboard would infrequently lose all of its fans and shutdown with the aforementioned driver (https://github.com/electrified/asus-wmi-sensors), so when it became part of kernel 5.17 I had to blacklist it. Now that your driver is part of kernel 5.19, I'm a little leery of leaving this driver loaded.

Have you run across anything like this? I'm hoping because you're not using WMI that I'll be OK.

This driver does not touch WMI functions, but instead reads from the ACPI embedded controller directly. The very reason for supporting the Prime X470-Pro model was to avoid lockups (see #12).
