Tweaks
A patch (PR 234403) is available to support battery charge control.
Both the mic jack and dock line out jack work, but require this in /boot/device.hints:
hint.hdaa.0.nid18.config="as=2" # Regroup left mic in hint.hdaa.0.nid27.config="as=4 conn=Jack" # Dock line out
For suspend when you close the lid, add this to /etc/sysctl.conf:
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=S3
