That should be included by default in the Linux kernel, excluding the fingerprint driver, as they’re only Windows-compatible and would require contribution from someone. For the fingerprint, don’t keep your hopes up - most of them simply won’t work, thanks to them being manufactured mostly by Shenzhen Goodix, who are hardcore Windows simp.
However, if you’re using a Linux-libre kernel, then that’s a different story - most definitely, your WiFi drivers won’t work, as it excludes nonfree drivers, so your two choices would be to wait for the driver to be included, or to switch to the original Linux kernel.
