The keyboard and trackpad appear to be connected over SPI:

While there may be some short path to keeping the keyboard in a
legacy mode, I'm sure the trackpad will require an entirely new
driver to be usable at all.

Some commits went into Linux to support it, but it still looks buggy
there:

So with no easy path to a working keyboard or trackpad, practically
no chance of wireless support nor even the ability to plug in a
small USB adapter due to the single USB-C port, I doubt this laptop
will be usable at all under OpenBSD.  And the keyboard sucks.
