Subject: [PATCH] HID: apple: fix endianness of keyboard backlight reports
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 17:12:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260718151241.7496-1-dev@deq.rocks> (raw)
The raw reports used by the T2 butterfly keyboard backlight contain
little-endian 16-bit fields. They are currently read and written as native
u16 values, leaving the wire format dependent on host endianness.
We should describe these fields as __le16 and convert them explicitly when
reading the backlight limits and writing the brightness and transition
rate.
