Is there any progress being made with some of the nagging issues that impact the 12th gen intel laptops when using Linux?

Specifically poor battery life (especially during standby when using the USB-A module) and not being able to use the brightness keys unless you disable the sensor?

Our latest beta BIOS updates improve the power consumption while using USB-A Expansion Cards on 11th and 12th Gen. We have some additional improvements we’re working on around this on HDMI and DP cards as well. For the brightness key/ALS conflict, this is pending additional driver work.

Are you talking about the one from December that's in beta[1]? Do you know when it'll be ready for primetime? Sounds like it turns off thunderbolt on the left side of the laptop so I've been reluctant to try it
