Monitoring Temperatures/Voltages with asus_atk0110

Hello everyone,

I have an ASUS Z97 Sabertooth Mark2 mainboard and want to monitor temperatures and voltages with lm-sensors. Sadly I am unable to get the asus_atk0110 kernel module to work.

# modprobe -v asus_atk0110
insmod /lib/modules/4.3.5-ck3-pgzh/kernel/drivers/hwmon/asus_atk0110.ko

Produces no messages in the kernel log (dmesg).

# sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +27.8°C  (crit = +101.0°C)
temp2:        +29.8°C  (crit = +101.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0:  +25.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +96.0°C)
Core 0:         +24.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +96.0°C)
Core 1:         +26.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +96.0°C)
Core 2:         +24.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +96.0°C)
Core 3:         +24.0°C  (high = +86.0°C, crit = +96.0°C)

Does not show the atk0110 at all. Other Asus Z97 boards reportedly work with this hwmon driver. Further I am seeing the following in my dmesg:

[    0.889069] i2c /dev entries driver
[    0.889178] ACPI Warning: SystemIO range 0x000000000000F040-0x000000000000F05F conflicts with OpRegion 0x000000000000F040-0x000000000000F04F (\_SB_.PCI0.SBUS.SMBI) (20150818/utaddress-254)
[    0.889178] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver

I am clueless and just don't understand why I am unable to get any readings from this driver. I am sure it should work with my mainboard.
Has anyone a hint what might be the problem or experiences with this driver?

Re: Monitoring Temperatures/Voltages with asus_atk0110

I presume you have done sudo sensors-detect

Re: Monitoring Temperatures/Voltages with asus_atk0110

I've done sensors-detect as root.
The thing with asus-atk0110 is that it isn't detected by sensors-detect if what I found out via google is correct.
sensors-detect correctly finds the coretemp sensors in the CPU as well as the nct6791 on the board. This sensor can't be used due to an ACPI conflict (and shouldn't be used with its native driver anymore because of possible ACPI interference) and one should rather use the ACPI-based asus-atk0110 instead.
I am well aware that I can boot with acpi_resources_enforce=lax (not sure this is absolutely correct), but I don't want to use a native driver but the ACPI-based like the kernel devs recommend to avoid any problems.
So I am kind of stuck here...
What I forgot to mention: I am running a custom built kernel with a custom initrd since my system is 100% encrypted. Is there maybe an kernel config option that could possibly mess or interfere with the asus-atk0110 module? (I have asus-atk0110 configured as a loadable module)
