I tried multiple defconfigs and another kernel (https://github.com/redmidevs/android_kernel_xiaomi_msm8917), but also ran into the same issue.

Answer 1

This was an issue with a fw file that was missing.

I found the file on the lenovo site and copied it to the appropriate directory and then attempted to rebuild.

The lenovo source is here:

The firmware file contents can be found here:
