Not directly: other boards had read/write methods with byte
granularity that could be exploited to jury rig a native driver to
access the hardware via ACPI. In this case there are no such methods,
the only option that I see would be injecting new methods into the
DSDT and use those; it can be done but it's a bit... distasteful ;-)
And fragile.
I wonder that ASUS does under Windows...
