Great, thanks for the confirmation!

Kernel team, could you please include those 2 extra modules
(spi-pxa2xx-pci and spi-pxa2xx-platform) in your next uploads to sid,
trixie, and bookworm please? They're needed to make keyboard/touchpad
work on some Macbooks:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=038b1a05eae6666b731920e46f47d8e2332e07ff

(Although admittedly that's only been confirmed with a Debian 13 image.
If you think we should confirm that's sufficient with Debian 12 too, and
if Osama is fine with it, we could double check that too.)

intel_lpss_pci is also referenced in that upstream commit, and it's been
involved in similar topics a while back. Since then, it's been shipped
within kernel-image, I'm not sure whether that would also make sense for
those SPI modules.

Thanks for your time!


Cheers,
