Disabling Intel(R) Management Engine Interface correctly

nolan

Hello, how do I disable Intel(R) Management Engine Interface correctly.
Dig in a bit I found this post and this one

modinfo mei_me
modinfo mei

shows the module are in /lib/modules/6.4.15-254.current/kernel/drivers/misc/mei/
the content of this is:
hdcp mei-gsc.ko.zst mei.ko.zst mei-me.ko.zst pxp

should I blacklist mei-gsc, mei, mei-me or just mei, mei-me?

the kernel is complaining a lot
[ 6858.890474] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: timer: init clients timeout hbm_state = 4. [ 6858.890494] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = INIT_CLIENTS fw status = 1E000042 60000106 [ 6858.890513] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: reset: reached maximal consecutive resets: disabling the device

I would recommend blacklisting both - "mei mei_me".
