Subject: eeepc-wmi loaded on Asus desktop board

Dear Linux folks,


Debugging an ACPI suspend problem on the desktop board Asus F285-M PRO 
with Linux 4.14, I noticed, the module *eeepc_wmi* is loaded, and an 
input device is created.

```

[eeepc_wmi] returned 0 after 12130 usecs
```

Please find the full log attached.

Is that expected, or should the module not load at all on desktop boards?



Kind regards,

Paul
