Subject: [PATCH 0/3] platform: arm64: thinkpad-t14s-ec: new driver

Introduce driver for the ThinkPad T14s Gen6 Snapdragon EC. In theory
it seems to be compatible with the ThinkPad ACPI driver, but these
devices are booted with device tree. As the name implies, the existing
ThinkPad ACPI driver only supports the ACPI interface. Looking at
the implementation, the ACPI DSDT contains many mapping functions
to translate the low level I2C messages into the interface used by
the ThinkPad ACPI driver. Adding DT support to the ThinkPad ACPI driver
would require adding all those translation functions, which would add
more or less the same amount of code as writing a separate driver using
the low level interface directly. I don't think it's sensible to make
the existing ACPI driver even more complicated, so I went for a separate
driver.

I managed to get system LEDs, audio LEDs, extra keys and the keyboard
backlight control working. The EC also seems to be used for some thermal
bits, which I haven't looked into deeply. As far as I understand most
thermal and fan control is handled by a different controller
(0x36@...5) anyways.

Apart from that the EC is involved in proper system suspend, which
is something I do not yet understand (I don't have any documentation
apart from the dis-assembled DSDT and existing ACPI driver). Right
now I disabled wake capabilities for the IRQ, since it would wake
up the system when closing the LID. Hopefully a way to mask specific
events will be found in the future.
