Thanks for your effort to get things upstream.
I just tried your branch on my R13. I had to do a trivial config change I had to
do, as I don't have and care about the bluetooth FW right now.
But after that my screen keeps black. I was able to build and boot
elm-working-5.3 and elm-working-5.2.

Unfortunatley I don't have a serial console on the Chromebook, so it's difficult
to find out where it hangs. Can you please double check if your new
elm-working-5.4 actually really works?

Thanks,
Matthias
