Additional context

Firmware 17S1IMS2.107 (Vector 17 HX A14V) is already supported. My firmware 17S1IMS2.104 is from the same series - likely
compatible with the same EC register configuration.

DKMS version 0.13 loads in debug mode successfully, but standard attributes (fan_mode, cooler_boost, shift_mode,
temperatures) are unavailable.
