I'm checking to see if we have the EC spec for this platform (it's not in our 
Linux certification program).

The code looks fine but some notes:
 - We usually do the DMI_MATCH on the BOARD_NAME for quirks. I was checking 
psref.lenovo.com and there seem to be two distinct models for this platform, 
which is a bit confusing. I don't have a way to confirm that your changes will 
work for the other model so wondering if it's safer to do the quirks for 
21ES/21ET or 20RL/20RK depending on what you have in hand? (I might be 
overthinking this too)
 - I would have called it detachable_keyboard instead of 
keyboard_attached_on_screen. See what other reviewers think.

If I get details back on the EC spec and confirmation it's correct I'll let you 
know :)

Mark
