Right, bugs are usually discussed in bugzila, you could consider filing a bug here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Drivers But I must be honest here, I don't see much progress being made on this until someone with a significant amount of kernel / hw-enablement experience gets it hands on one of these models. Either because some company wants to run Linux on an affected model and ends up paying someone to look at this, or because someone with the necessary skills happens to buy one and then gets annoyed enough by this to sink enough time into the issue to figure things out. This hw is still relatively new, so with some luck someone accidentally fixes this while fixing another issue, which happens to have the same root cause. Short of one of these 2 happening I don't see this getting resolved anytime soon. By all means, do file a bug for this, I just want to set expectations about the (un)likelyness of this getting fixed (or the bug getting much attention in general) beforehand.
