The asus_atk0110 driver interfaces with an ACPI implementation found on many
recent Asus mainboards. This intermediate layer between the kernel and the
hardware induces limits to what can be done, and in particular, manual fan
speed control is not supported. So it is expected that pwmconfig doesn't work
when using the asus_atk0110 driver. No amount of work on your end will help.
When using the asus_atk0110 driver, you must configure the thermal profile in
the BIOS, and then let the BIOS control the fan speed automatically for you. I
have received mixed feedback from the users, apparently the BIOS profiles are
too coarse-grained for many, but that's the best you have. Using the
asus_atk0110 driver is also the only supported method. if you decide to use a
native driver instead, you are essentially unsupported. Things may work, but if
they do not, there's nothing we can do to help.
Using both the asus_atk0110 driver and a native driver at the same time for the
same chip is BAD for ALL boards. If you were told otherwise, you were
misinformed.
Blacklisting the asus_atk0110 driver can be done by adding the following line
to any *.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d:
blacklist asus_atk0110
No kernel recompilation is needed. But then again, if you go that route, you
are unsupported.
