That makes sense.

What about the other ACPI ID (BCM2E3C) that I've found in the ACPI
table of that ThinkPad 8 tablet? Is it included in its table to cover
another HW variant of that product, using a different Broadcom
chipset? Any value for you if I create a similar patch (without being
able to test it)? I guess the answer will be "No" from your message
above but just let me know.

That's what I thought, thanks for the confirmation.
