Should I update the description (to just mention adding support for
Alderlake RST on VMD platform), change the defines in the patch, and
send V2, or you will send (possibly) updated version after your
testing?

The patch was tested on my Dell Precision 3570 notebook with Intel
i7-1255U CPU and two 2TB NVMe disks.

Cheers,
Oldřich.
