Start from a Config.lb which uses exactly the superio you have. If that
is not possible, read the datasheet of your superio and modify your
Config.lb so that it matches the datasheet.

Please be also aware that the IT8712F has a "keyboard controller with 2
kb programmable ROM" which might need special handling.

If you have problems downloading the datasheet from ITE (the download
may stall) tell me and I'll send it to you privately.
