Issue: Some units of the Acer Predator PHN16S-71 have a typo in their BIOS DMI strings, returning
Predator PHIN16S-71(with an "I"). Because the DMI match is strictly checking forPHN, thelinuwu-sensedriver fails to map the laptop to its corresponding hardware profile, causing the daemon to hang in a retry loop on boot.Solution: Added a duplicate block to the
acer_quirksarray that strictly matches thePHIN16S-71string and points it to the existingquirk_acer_predator_phn16s_71profile. This allows the driver to initialize natively without needing to force parameters through the Internals Manager. Tested and confirmed working.
