Yup as of Sept 3 2026 I am running the latest BIOS, 4.43. I think a new 
one is coming soonish as Asrock has started rolling out 4.50 on other 
x870 motherboards

I think we have another mystery to solve. I enabled 
"usbcore.autosuspend=-1" as a boot parameter and the errors have cleared 
up when I suspend/resume. I doubled checked this by removing 
"usbcore.autosuspend=-1" from my boot parameters and the errors came back.

I checked my BIOS and all RGB options are disabled.
