Hi, there are some updates. Currently the linux kernel supports almost all snapdragon 8cx SoCs:

SoC SC8180XP is the evolution of the Flex one with the same CPU-GPU, but at higher frequency, with BT 5.1 and WiFi 6 instead of BT 5 and WiFi 5. Other members of the community are also asking the same thing and wondering why it is so. Perhaps you can post the debug there.

Qualcomm has announced Upstreaming Linux kernel support for the Snapdragon X Elite.

Collaborating with Lenovo, Arm and Linaro on the AArch64 laptops GitHub project, we’ve built Linux support into several generations of our SoCs with Windows on Snapdragon. We’ve ensured that you could boot Linux on many of the laptops powered by our previous generation of SoCs. Notable models include the Lenovo Yoga C630 (Snapdragon 850), the Lenovo Flex 5G (Snapdragon 8cx Gen 1) and the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s (Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3).

In the description, all SoC 8cx are included except the unfortunate Gen 2 (sc8180xp). Who knows why it is the only one excluded.
