Acer V3-471G

This is my backup clover config and kext that I use for macOS 10.14.3 Mojave build 18D109 on Acer V3-471G. I do not yet understand about dsdt and ssdt patching, so I think it still needs more patch further, but for my daily use now I think it's enough.

• The model of the sound card is Realtek ALC269, which is driven by AppleALC on layout-id 3 (Testing | speaker : good sound, headphone : good); injection information is located in /CLOVER/config.plist.

• Native Bluetooth is [not working well], disabled.
