Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming IO Backplate
iGPU
iGPU works by enabling internal graphics in bios and then using framebuffer 0x3E910003 for WhateverGreen.
Note: Make sure you swap bytes when setting the value for AAPL,ig-platform-id in config.plist (0x3E910003 -> 0300913E).
Sound
Front and backside ports work with AppleALC.kext using layout-id 20.
