How to use this repository:

•  HD Camera (2.0)

•  Bluetooth (Internal 2.0)

Network

Power

•  CPU power management
•  Battery indicator
•  USB PM
•  Shutdown/*Sleep/Restart
•  Ambient Light Sensor & Saving/Restoring screen brightness on reboot
•  **Disable eGPU to save power

* For Sleep to work, add -wegnoegpu to your boot-args (Mojave/Catalina+). However, this makes USB-C external monitors undetectable after boot

** Prefer to use SSDT-Disable-DGPU.aml patch to save power, as it ACPI disables the eGPU. This also makes USB-C external monitors undetectable after boot

-wegnoegpu can be used in conjunction with SSDT-Disable-DGPU.aml
