Hi Endre, I have kinda made progress in regards of being able to patch and install a kernel.
First i'ill walk you through my assumptions, 1) you have the laptop and installed a debian/ubuntu based distro but the keyboard and touchpad don't work. 2) there is at least 64Gb of disk space available 3) you have the option of using the root user. so first off. Download the patch from above. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=305236 run uname -r, this will return your kernel version, download the closest matching version to that version from kernel.org, but remeber only download later versions, so you are not using a version older than your current kernel. then run sudo apt install build-essential libncurses5-dev libssl-dev flex libelf-dev bc bison gcc make dwarves zstd then unzip the downloaded kernel and enter it as root. appply the patch by running the following as roon in the unzipped kernel directory: patch -p1 < path_to_patchfile it will return something notifying it's ready. then copy over the latest kernel config to the unzipped kernel this can be found in the /boot directory mine is /boot/config-6.1.59 for example. this is beceause i patched up the old kernel to this one. cp -r /boot/<latestkernel>.conf .config replace latestkernel with the one you find in /boot then run make menuconfig as the root in the unzipped kernel. immediatly just hit save and exit run the following 2 lines as the root user in the unzipped kernel individually :) (been there done that) scripts/config --disable SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS scripts/config --disable SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS then run make -j 16 and just hit enter whenever it prompts something, oh and get a coffee or a tea this is going to take a while :)) when it completes, run as root in the unzipped kernel: make modules_install should'nt take too long whenever it completes run make install let it complete, congrats kernel installed, run; update-grub verify that the version of the kernel is somewhere in it's output. reboot, and pray. if it boots up, run a uname -r, try it with the laptop's builtin keyboard. if you've made it this far congrats. you have now patched and installed a kernel. above works on any distro i've tried.

Ubuntu 22.04.3 with (later upgraded to kernel 6.2.0-32-generic) was installed in rewly purchased LENOVO V15 GEN4 AMN (AMD Ryzen 5 7520u) laptop and it was noticed that keyboard, touchpad and microphone are not working. The keyboard and touchpad work fine in BIOS setup and till GRUB (command line). It was found that when external devices such as keyboard, mouse and microphone are connected through USB and 3.5 jack, respectively, these work just fine. To confirm these are not hardware problems, Microsoft Windows 11 (Home) was installed in another disk partition and observed all these working alright. Hence a bug is being reported to draw attention of the concerned team and I request them to refer this issue and do the needful at the earliest.
