Comments/Problems:

For install approaches I used a port replicator, further findings are
described in attachment "Lenovo IdeaPad 5G 14Q8X05  Missing
SC8180XP_SA8195P driver in d-i on arm64 - Oliver Müller
(Oliver.Mueller85@GMX.net) - 2023-03-13 1954.eml". The output in the
eml-file is extracted from an install on a thumb drive initially using
https://github.com/aarch64-laptops/debian-cdimage/releases/download/v0.4/debian-unstable-arm64-DVD-1_20210314.iso
and setting up DtbLoader like so
https://github.com/aarch64-laptops/debian-cdimage than updated bookworm,
kernel and installed gnome.

Hi,
the latest version of linux kernel 6.5 supports the Lenovo Flex 5G SoC SC8180X https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/ChangeLog-6.5. Since the Lenovo IdeaPad 5G 14Q8X05 has SoC SC8180XP which is the evolution of the Flex one with the same CPU-GPU, but at higher frequency, with BT 5.1 and WiFi 6 instead of BT 5 and WiFi 5. Do you think it will work? If not, are you going to add support for SC8180XP?
Thank you
