On the newer machines the four_zoned_kb writes go through without any error but the LEDs never change, because the keyboard RGB moved to a separate ENE KB5130 chip on i2c-HID. I hit this on my PHN16S-71, and the same thing is confirmed on the Nitro ANV16S-41 and partially on the PHN16-73 (statics dead, dynamics still work there).
I lost a good week to this and I keep seeing the same confusion pop up across the ecosystem (for example issue #287 on JafarAkhondali's module, and similar threads on DAMX and predator-sense), so this adds a short note under the four_zoned_kb docs: the symptom, a one line check for the chip, and a pointer to where the working HID path is documented. Also makes clear that everything else in Linuwu-Sense works fine on these models, so people don't ditch the module thinking it's broken.
Docs only, no code changes.
