Hi all! This patch series aims to improve the Touch Bar support for x86 Macs. Recently, the hid-appletb-kbd and hid-appletb-bl drivers were upstreamed into the Linux kernel [1]. They enabled the Touch Bar to display a predefined set of media and function keys, exactly the same it does on Windows Bootcamp. Now we are about to get support added for the DRM mode of the Touch Bar as well [2]. The DRM mode enables the Touch Bar to act as a second display, just like macOS. So now you can add a widget, put a clock or anything else on the Touch Bar as long as you can develop a daemon. Now via these patches, in the DRM mode, we can use the Touch Bar as a touch screen. The Touch Bar seems to be not compliant with the HID spec, thus via these patches several tweaks have been done under the cover of a single quirk, MT_QUIRK_APPLE_TOUCHBAR. For the case of T2 Macs, apple-bce [4], the driver for the T2 Security Chip is also needed for all the peripherals, including the Touch Bar to work. It is still WIP, and will be subsequently sent later to the appropriate tree. Till then, I'll suggest for get the driver from [3], or more preferably, get Linux support from https://t2linux.org/.
