Touchbar Issue: PatrickVerner/macbook12-spi-driver Repo NOT FOUND

[davidfuzju]

any one help offer PatrickVerner/macbook12-spi-driver source code ?

Use https://github.com/marc-git/macbook12-spi-driver, mbp-2016-linux is pretty outdated unfortunately, though do note that even marc-git's repo may not work in recent kernels, see #189

(do note that I also believe some distro's versions of usbmuxd break the driver, you can work around that (#189 (comment) / libimobiledevice/usbmuxd#138) or use a git version of usbmuxd)

I used the module from marc-git following the instructions there and finishing it up with modprobe intel_lpss_pci spi_pxa2xx_platform applespi apple-ib-tb. After reboot it worked on my Debian 12 running 6.1.0-25-amd64 . Please note that in apple-ibridge.c you need to change

static void appleib_remove(struct acpi_device *acpi)

to

static int appleib_remove(struct acpi_device *acpi)

and at the end of the function change
return;
to
return 0; to comply with the function now being a int type.

This gist was also useful.
