[Bug 2107692] [NEW] [SRU] Asus Vivobook S15 hwe-qcom-x1e-meta modsignature doesn't work

[Tobias Heider]

Public bug reported:

[ Summary ]

hwe-qcom-x1e-meta should automatically get installed during Ubuntu
installation on supported laptops. This works by using modalias
signatures in d/hwe-qcom-x1e-meta.modaliases which ubuntu-drivers uses
to find supported driver packages.

The current matching pattern for the Asus Vivobook is:
  dmi:bvnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:*:pnASUSVivobookS15*

This is incorrect, since bvn is the BIOS vendor field which is not actually ASUS. The actual content of /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias on the laptop is:
dmi:bvnInsyde:bvrS5507QAD.362:bd12/26/2024:br3.7:efr3.9:svnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:pnASUSVivobookS15S5507QA_S5507QAD:pvr1.0:rvnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:rnS5507QAD:rvr1.0:cvnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:ct10:cvr1.0:sku(null): 

This is easily fixed by adjusting the pattern to sth like:
  dmi:*:svnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:pnASUSVivobookS15*

[ Test Plan ]

Someone with access to the hardware can verify the validity of the new pattern with the following script:
for l in $(find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat); do if [[ $l == dmi:*:svnASUSTeKCOMPUTERINC.:pnASUSVivobookS15* ]]; then echo $l; fi; done

Once a fix is in proposed, "ubuntu-drivers list" should return hwe-
qcom-x1e-meta on the affected machine with proposed enabled.

[ Regression Potential ]
Close to none. The current pattern doesn't work, a patch would only touch that. In the worst case it will still not work, it can't affect any other devices.
