Hmm. Ok, but then we need to ask Lenovo and Qualcomm to release the
firmware files we need for the X13s. Until then using your patch and
"hpnv21.bin" at least works to some extent.

I could connect to one bluetooth speaker without noticing any problems,
but I did indeed get some garbled output when connecting to another. I
have not tried the .b8c file yet though, so this could possibly be some
other incompatibility issue.

Yes, that seems reasonable. Your patch is more complete in that it adds
supports for managing power. Adding support for more fine grained
loading of "NVM configuration" files could be done on top.

Yeah, I don't think that message during probe should be a show stopper
here.
