#65471 — Bug#943337: linux-image-5.3.0-1-amd64: Keyboard driver for SPI connected MacBooks not included

Package: linux-image-5.3.0-1-amd64
Version: 5.3.7-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The Linux kernel currently included in Debian/unstable doesn't include a 
driver for keyboards and touchpads of Macs which have them connected via SPI.

A driver for this was added in Linux 5.3 (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/
linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?
id=038b1a05eae6666b731920e46f47d8e2332e07ff), but isn't included in Debian 
yet.

Please consider including the "applespi" driver, as this driver enables the 
keyboards and touchpads of various mobile Macs from 2015 to 2017.

Thanks,
Daniel

#65779

yes please, this is required for macbook pro 2016 and 2017 and later
keyboard to work, I am using the out-of tree dkms for this now, which
is kind of silly to use since this is actually in the kernel 5.3
already

dkms version (presumably same code) works fine on my laptop with
debian vendor kernel 5.3.0-2 (ie 5.3.9-3)

please enable CONFIG_KEYBOARD_APPLESPI=m so we can get working
keyboard on our laptops out of the box, thanks

#65992

Are there any reasons not to include the applespi module?

We've been using the out-of-tree version for live-USB systems for years 
now without any problems for Macs and PCs, laptops and desktops, old and 
new. Enabling this module would be highly appreciated.
