Additional context

When I install driver with dkms it doesn't create "/sys/devices/platform/msi-ec/" folder, using #600 didn't fix it too.

Has a camera but any switch for it (incl. digital, physical, or slide).

These are EC values that I could find, idk why but it's so random
0xD7 =
E4 (charge 100%),
D0 (charge under 70%, stop at 80%),
BC (charge under 50%, stop at 60%)

0xC9 = (CPU Fan?) "Fan 1" speed (0xC8 also moves, couldn't find the pattern)
0xCB = (GPU Fan?) "Fan 2" speed (0xCA also moves, couldn't find the pattern)

0x2C = 00 mic on - 02 mic off
0x2D = 00 sound on - 02 sound off

0xD3 = RGB keyboard brightness (fn + f8 (brightness button) --> counts down from 83 to 80 then goes back to 83 not tied to brightness levels)

Katana A17 B8VF supported with #249 and #250 but couldn't make it work with Katana A17 B8VG,

IDK if that will help but, differences between B8VF and B8VG:

B8VF                    |        B8VG
                        |                        
RTX 4060                |        RTX 4070
8*2 DDR5                |        16*2 DDR5
Ryzen 7 8845HS          |        Ryzen 9 8945HS
