I have a Thinkpad (but an X1 4th gen) and found that I apparently also have an 
NFC chip.

https://salsa.debian.org/diederik/linux/-/tree/enable-nfc-bug-1020276 contains 
the branch I made to enable it. Turns out that NFC_NCI is needed as well.

Booting into the kernel built with those options and I did see various nxp 
modules being loaded and it also showed up in dmesg.
The output of `lspci` and `lsusb` didn't change however.
