Ghislain Vaillant 9fef72a2af dell-xps-15-7590: enable fwupd and deep sleep
- This device supports firmware updates through `fwupd`.
- Prefer deep sleep over s2idle which is inefficient.
- Remove old cruft in the corresponding readme.

= Dell XPS 15 7590 =
*Mostly copied from 15-9550
== Tested Hardware ==
* CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9980HK
* RAM: 32 GB
* HDD: 1 TiB SSD
* Screen: 15" 4k (3840✕2160)
* Input: Touchscreen and trackpad.
== Firmware Configuration ==
Not much tweaking of NixOS itself was needed. But we currently cannot automate the firmware setup, so this must be done by hand.
=== Before installation ===
These settings are needed both for booting the final install, and installer itself. Therefore, they must be done first.
* ''Disable Secure Boot (but keep UEFI Boot).'' Thankfully doing so is as easy as changing any other simple setting.
* ''Disable Intel hardware RAID and use AHCI instead.'' Intel doesn't seem to provide a working linux driver for this. (If you just have SSD it's pointless and just slows things down needlessly anyways.)
=== After installation ===
* ''Add systemd-boot to UEFI boot list.'' The (uneditable anyways) settings mapping drive UUIDs to HD* work fine.
=== Optional ===
* ''Update BIOS.'' According to Reddit, this helps with battery life.
== Firmware updates ==
This device is supported by [https://fwupd.org/ fwupd].
You may use <code>fwupdmgr</code> to perform firmware updates.
== Power management ==
Deep sleep is preferred to the default S2 sleep mode, in order to reduce battery draining during suspend.
