[PATCH v2] usb: typec: ucsi: do not register UCSI on Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IAX10H

From: Huang Wei

Date: Wed Aug 26 2026 - 09:34:16 EST


The EC firmware of the Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IAX10H (DMI product name
83F5) has a broken UCSI implementation: GET_PDOS returns no source
capabilities, GET_CONNECTOR_STATUS reports an incomplete RDO, and any
UCSI traffic disturbs the EC's autonomous USB-C Power Delivery
negotiation. With ucsi_acpi bound, chargers connect only briefly and
then drop, and voltage_now reads 0; with the driver blacklisted, the
EC negotiates full PD contracts on its own and charging works normally.

The problem is unaffected by BIOS updates up to Q7CN78WW (2026-04).
The AMD sibling Legion Pro 7 16AFR10H (product name 83RU) reportedly
uses the same EC firmware, but it is left out of the quirk until the
failure is confirmed on that model.

Skip probe on this machine, which is equivalent to the blacklist
workaround the reporter verified to restore charging.

Changes in v2:
- Add Tested-by tag from Alex Bartz, who verified the quirk on his
machine (out-of-tree build, runtime module swap, PD charging held
across the reload).
