FWIW, this has been tested by me, with positive results, on my Lenovo 
Legion Slim 5 16APH8. Not sure if this warrants a Tested-by trailer 
since I'm a co-author, but just in case.

In the thread [1], we have had another user report positive results on 
their 16AHP9 (note that Lenovo seems to have switched the P and the H 
around for the laptop one generation up for some reason). Said user 
tested on both OpenRM and nouveau on top of kernel 7.1.10.

This means we have tested 16APH8 on nouveau, and 16AHP9 on both OpenRM 
and nouveau.
