New EC Driver Coming For The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen6 With Snapdragon X Elite SoC


The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen6 is one of the best supported Snapdragon X Elite laptops under Linux thus far

In further enhancing the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen6 on Linux, a new EC driver has been posted for supporting this Snapdragon powered laptop. Adding DT support to the ThinkPad ACPI driver would require adding all those translation functions, which would add more or less the same amount of code as writing a separate driver using the low level interface directly. Apart from that the EC is involved in proper system suspend, which is something I do not yet understand (I don't have any documentation apart from the dis-assembled DSDT and existing ACPI driver).
