Subject: [PATCH v5 2/8] dt-bindings: input: apple: Add DockChannel HID transport
Date: Sun, 08 Nov 2026 07:25:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261108-b4-apple-mtp-keyboard-v5-2-e2c97b82669a@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261108-b4-apple-mtp-keyboard-v5-0-e2c97b82669a@gmail.com>
From: Michael Reeves <michael.reeves077@gmail.com>
Apple internal keyboards and trackpads behind MTP are exposed through a
DockChannel HID transport.
Describe the transport's mailboxes, DART, and input properties. An
optional apple,has-stm property indicates shared device identifiers and
serial numbers are detectable. hid-country-code specifies the keyboard
layout variant, which is filled by the bootloader, and is not prefixed
as it is a generic HID property.

+description:
+ HID transport for keyboard and trackpad devices connected via the
+ DockChannel FIFO mailbox on Apple Silicon SoCs. The endpoint includes a
+ small RTKit coprocessor called MTP which must be booted before the HID
+ transport becomes available.
