We can not (reliably) map the name "I219V" to a PCIe device.
Use lspci(8) to ascertain the device id#, and then use modinfo(8)
to see if that device ID is listed on one of the "alias" lines.

The fact that the driver loaded at all is a sign that the device is supported by the driver. If it were not, it would not have loaded and we would not see the checksum error complaint.

Finally, given dmesg output that you posted earlier, if the
NVM checksum is bad, it really won't matter if your driver
supports the hardware or not.  The driver will not load if
the hardware has been corrupted.

Actually, the driver did load because the device ID was recognized, but it will not activate any port that has a bad checksum. The NVM checksum issue needs to be addressed by your laptop maker.
