Public bug reported: Some ThinkPad systems have a power-saving feature that turns off HDMI audio device in Windows, but NVidia Linux driver does not support this feature. As a result, HDMI audio will not work on Linux. A BIOS workaround is added with an OEM_OSI string "Linux-Lenovo-NV-HDMI-Audio" which needs enabling in Linux kernel too.
