On various Gigabyte AM4 boards (AB350, AX370), the second Super-IO chip (IT8792E) needs to be in configuration mode before accessing the first due to a bug in IT8792E which otherwise results in LPC bus access errors. This needs to be done before accessing the first Super-IO chip since the second chip may have been accessed prior to loading this driver. The problem is also reported to affect IT8795E, which is used on X299 boards and has the same chip ID as IT8792E (0x8733). It also appears to affect systems with IT8790E, which is used on some Z97X-Gaming boards as well as Z87X-OC, and other more recent Gigabyte boards.

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.
