Foreword: maybe this is a well-known issue - if this would be the case, feel free to reject this PR.
When I got the tablet, I tried to run some live system on it. I started with the usual suspects: Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, Arch... but all threw some weird kernel errors during boot, except for Linux Mint. Finally got some time to look into it, and the reason seems to be that it ships with a fairly old kernel (5.15).
After bisecting the kernel, finally I found that a commit introduced in 5.19 is causing this problem. This PR adds some notes about how to work around this behavior.
