On these platforms, built-in input devices are managed by a dedicated coprocessor running an RTKit-based operating system. Communication between this coprocessor and the main processor is carried out over a low-latency hardware byte FIFO interface called DockChannel. To support this input path, the series introduces a few new components: - An apple-dockchannel mailbox driver to handle the low-level byte-stream FIFO. - A DockChannel HID transport driver (apple-hid) that boots the coprocessor using the RTKit framework and encapsulates the HID protocol over the mailbox. - Minor additions to the apple-rtkit and hid-apple drivers to support the TraceKit endpoint and integrate the keyboards into the existing input-quirks framework. - Devicetree bindings and DTS updates to describe the nodes on M2 and M3 laptops. The transport driver is based on an original out-of-tree implementation by Hector Martin, but it has been significantly rewritten for upstream inclusion to use the standard Linux mailbox framework and align better with upstream HID design patterns and reduce reliance on hacks. While the coprocessor manages both the keyboard and the trackpad, this series only enables keyboard support. The keyboard can be initialised without loading external firmware, whereas the trackpad requires firmware. Trackpad support will be submitted in a subsequent series once these base transport layers are established. Tested on: MacBook Air M3 (J613).

Changes in v2: - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/asahi/20260630-apple-mtp-keyboard-final-v1-0-506d936a1707@gmail.com/ - Rebase onto latest upstream and add M3 Pro/Max device-tree support. - Use an optional STM node to decide whether to wait for device IDs (suggested by Yureka Lilian). - Rename bindings to match the t8112 fallback (suggested by Conor Dooley). - Fix FIFO MMIO write width (suggested by Yureka Lilian) and run mailbox interrupt handling in the IRQ thread. - Remove the duplicate report fixup (suggested by Sasha Finkelstein) and redundant HID dependency (suggested by Julian Braha). - Fix teardown and the missing HID stop callback; simplify interface lookup. --- Michael Reeves (9): dt-bindings: mailbox: apple: Add M3 ASC mailbox compatibles dt-bindings: mailbox: apple: Add DockChannel mailbox dt-bindings: iommu: apple,dart: Add M3 compatibles dt-bindings: input: apple: Add DockChannel HID transport mailbox: apple: Add DockChannel FIFO controller HID: apple: Add support for DockChannel HID keyboards HID: apple: Add DockChannel HID transport driver arm64: dts: apple: Add MTP DockChannel HID nodes arm64: dts: apple: Enable DockChannel HID on M2 and M3 laptops Sasha Finkelstein (1): soc: apple: rtkit: Add tracekit endpoint .../input/apple,t8112-dockchannel-hid.yaml | 104 ++ .../devicetree/bindings/iommu/apple,dart.yaml | 6 +- .../devicetree/bindings/mailbox/apple,mailbox.yaml | 3 + .../bindings/mailbox/apple,t8112-dockchannel.yaml | 77 ++ MAINTAINERS | 5 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t602x-die0.dtsi | 46 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t602x-j414-j416.dtsi | 29 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t6030.dtsi | 46 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t6031-die0.dtsi | 46 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t603x-j514-j516.dtsi | 24 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t8112-j413.dts | 24 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t8112-j415.dts | 24 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t8112-j493.dts | 26 +- arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t8112.dtsi | 46 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t8122-j504.dts | 26 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t8122-j613.dts | 27 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t8122-j615.dts | 27 + arch/arm64/boot/dts/apple/t8122.dtsi | 47 + drivers/hid/Kconfig | 2 + drivers/hid/Makefile | 2 + drivers/hid/dockchannel/Kconfig | 14 + drivers/hid/dockchannel/Makefile | 3 + drivers/hid/dockchannel/apple-hid.c | 1177 ++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/hid/hid-apple.c | 118 +- drivers/mailbox/Kconfig | 12 + drivers/mailbox/Makefile | 2 + drivers/mailbox/apple-dockchannel.c | 372 +++++++ drivers/soc/apple/rtkit.c | 2 + include/linux/hid.h | 1 + include/linux/mailbox/apple-dockchannel.h | 29 + 30 files changed, 2319 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 5dd1818b15d98d4a20806cd00b1b40320b06004f change-id: 20260629-apple-mtp-keyboard-final-91cb5a6ff4fc Best regards, -- Michael Reeves
