Yeah, there seems only Chromebook devices (in ACPI world), MediaTek and
Qualcomm (in DT world). Do we have anybody from Qualcomm to test this?

Hans, I think you (or somebody you might know at QCOMM) might be interested
in this fix.

and since it was tested on real devices I'm quite sure this is the case.
