Are you sure these supplies really exist on the board? E.g. on the
x1e001de-devkit, Windows toggles all these GPIOs, but there doesn't seem
to be anything connected to two of them, the 12V supply is simply always
on.

Even more importantly, for a laptop I would expect they use some part
that doesn't need a beefy 12V supply. I don't have the datasheet for
RTS5261, but e.g. in [1] this chip is explicitly advertised with 3.3V
power.

I guess it's hard to be sure without schematics and it surely doesn't
hurt to toggle these GPIOs like on Windows, but perhaps a comment that
some of these likely don't exist would be good ...

I think you should either do a full configuration (include power-source
and everything else essential as well) or omit this entirely, because
like this you will need the proper configuration from the boot firmware
anyway.
