Sleep

• Crash on sleep: fix was to install AptioMemoryFix-64.efi and EmuVariableUefi-64.efi
• Sleep wake cycle: fix was a custom DSDT (somehow an XDCI device was waking up the pc)
• No audio after sleep (started on 10.14.4). The fix has been to add CodecCommander.kext and darkwable=8 in boot arguments of config.list

USB mapping

This EFI has a custom DSDT to map USB ports used.
