It looks like it is failing to detect N1X and N1 as different models,
the bug is likely on this commit:

	commit 846a416b4630fc960c10500b4194ad504bc22d4b
	platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Proper model/release matching

Real life has been **extremely** busy, so I'd appreciate a patch.
Otherwise I will eventually get to it, but it might take a few
weeks(!!).
