[PATCH v3] usb: typec: ucsi: do not register UCSI on Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IAX10H
From: Huang Wei
Date: Wed Sep 02 2026 - 05:19:40 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 reporter confirmed the issue on BIOS versions Q7CN44WW and
Q7CN78WW (2026-04); it is unaffected by the BIOS update between them.
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 machines carrying the known-broken BIOS versions, which
is equivalent to the blacklist workaround the reporter verified to
restore charging. Matching the specific BIOS versions rather than the
whole platform ensures that a future firmware that fixes UCSI is not
wrongly skipped.

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).
Changes in v3:
- Use dev_err() instead of dev_info() for the skip message, per Greg
Kroah-Hartman and Heikki Krogerus, so the issue stays visible until
the firmware is fixed.
- Scope the quirk to the BIOS versions confirmed broken (Q7CN44WW,
Q7CN78WW) instead of the whole platform, per Greg Kroah-Hartman, so
a future firmware that fixes UCSI is not wrongly skipped. New broken
versions can be added to the table as they are confirmed.
