Great pointers. Will check out the existing urtwn driver (I believe thats the
Realtek driver; the Yoga laptop has touchscreen, apm, acpi, bios/uefi issues as
well just to name a few!) and see if I pick up some techniques. Will also
contact realtek if they're willing to provide something and post

Not really. You could ask Realtek for documentation; if they will release
it, someone will pick it up and will code a new driver or adapt an old one
if it is of high demand.
In conclusion, reverse engineering is the only option for support. Since using
this repo to port/construct a new driver would constitute a derivative work,
and stripping licenses is bad, one has to reinvent the wheel. Or get realtek to
issue a BSD-licensed driver.
