The DSTS method detection mistakenly selects DCTS instead of DSTS if
nothing is returned when the method ID is not defined in WMNB. As a result,
the control of keyboard backlight is not functional for TUF Gaming series
laptops. Implement detection based on _UID of the WMI device instead.
There is evidence that DCTS is handled by ACPI WMI devices that have _UID
ASUSWMI, whereas none of the devices without ASUSWMI respond to DCTS and
DSTS is used instead [1].
DSDT examples:
FX505GM (_UID ATK):
Method (WMNB, 3, Serialized)
{ ...
If ((Local0 == 0x53545344))
{
...
Return (Zero)
}
...
// No return
}
K54C (_UID ATK):
Method (WMNB, 3, Serialized)
{ ...
If ((Local0 == 0x53545344))
{
...
Return (0x02)
}
...
Return (0xFFFFFFFE)
}

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.
