I'm reading it as "A Linux driver for ThinkPads is ready to start reporting damaged devices on your system - starting with bad USB-C ports."

Headlinese is kind of ruining this one.

So, usb devices that are connected to your laptop, or the laptop's usb sockets themselves?

I assume the latter.

Fixing the typo (‘damage’ instead of ‘damaged’) would’ve gone a long way.

i think the the "s" on devices is also important to make it make sense
