On my laptop, a Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 with i7-1065G7, ACPI only
report "C1_ACPI", "C2_ACPI" and "C3_ACPI".
After this patch I have "C1", "C1E", "C6", "C7s", "C8", "C9" and "C10".
I tested for some time on idle (without any application launched) and
battery consumption drop ~1W/2W.
But it can be a measurement problem or different context. So don't
hesitate to tell me if I look wrong or if ACPI is a better option for
this specific processor family.
