Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix password opcode ordering for workstations
Date: Fri,  9 Feb 2024 10:23:47 -0500

The Lenovo workstations require the password opcode to be run before
the attribute value is changed (if Admin password is enabled).

Tested on some Thinkpads to confirm they are OK with this order too.
