Makes me wonder: How many more such quirk entries will be needed? Will we have all machines listed soon, or do we expect that future Lenovo hardware will need entries as well? If it's the latter: are quirks really the right solution here, or do they just hide some bug or then need for code that automatically handles things?
x86 firmware descriptions are terrible, it's just an endless procession of quirks. The model for ACPI is not to describe key information in the kernel and instead on Windows load device specific information from separately supplied tables. On Linux that translates into these endless quirks, on Windows it's platform specific drivers for otherwise generic audio hardware.
