Works, but, not quite well, and with the nvm bits from Tim's patch, we
end up getting closer? I think that is the best way to put it. With
what we currently have, we end up loading hpnv21.bin for our nvm patch
file, however, we actually want (at least on my Thinkpad X13s) the
.b8c file from the Windows partition for our nvm patch; With the b8c
file symlinked to .bin with just my patch set, I am able to connect a
pair of Air Pods Gen1 to the ThinkPad and play back audio, as well as
use them for input. With the .bin file that comes from
linux-firmware, they will still connect, however, they will randomly
disconnect, as well as the audio output is all garbled. I think,
ideally, we get v6+ in, and then we can figure out what to do about
the bits that Tim's patch adds. I've tried them locally, but I'm not
confident enough in my knowledge to address the issues that are
brought up in the code review there.

I am still trying to figure it out here as well, but I want to get v6 out there.
