[PATCH RESEND 0/5] HID: multitouch: Add support for Touch Bars on x86 MacBook Pros

[PATCH RESEND 0/5] HID: multitouch: Add support for Touch Bars on x86 MacBook Pros

[Aditya Garg]

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 [3], 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/.

Cheers
Aditya

[PATCH RESEND 1/5] HID: multitouch: Get the contact ID from HID_DG_TRANSDUCER_INDEX fields in case of Apple Touch Bar

[Aditya Garg]

From: Kerem Karabay <kekrby@gmail.com>

In Apple Touch Bar, the contact ID is contained in fields with the
HID_DG_TRANSDUCER_INDEX usage rather than HID_DG_CONTACTID, thus differing
from the HID spec. Add a quirk for the same.

[PATCH RESEND 2/5] HID: multitouch: support getting the tip state from HID_DG_TOUCH fields in Apple Touch Bar

[Aditya Garg]

From: Kerem Karabay <kekrby@gmail.com>

In Apple Touch Bar, the tip state is contained in fields with the
HID_DG_TOUCH usage. This feature is gated by a quirk in order to
prevent breaking other devices, see commit c2ef8f21ea8f
("HID: multitouch: add support for trackpads").

[PATCH RESEND 3/5] HID: multitouch: take cls->maxcontacts into account for Apple Touch Bar even without a HID_DG_CONTACTMAX field

[Aditya Garg]

From: Kerem Karabay <kekrby@gmail.com>

In Apple Touch Bar, the HID_DG_CONTACTMAX is not present, but the maximum
contact count is still greater than the default. Add quirks for the same.

[PATCH RESEND 4/5] HID: multitouch: specify that Apple Touch Bar is direct

[Aditya Garg]

From: Kerem Karabay <kekrby@gmail.com>

Currently the driver determines the device type based on the
application, but this value is not reliable on Apple Touch Bar, where
the application is HID_DG_TOUCHPAD even though this device is direct,
so add a quirk for the same.

[Aditya Garg]

From: Kerem Karabay <kekrby@gmail.com>

This patch adds the device ID of Apple Touch Bar found on x86 MacBook Pros
to the hid-multitouch driver.

Note that this is device ID is for T2 Macs. Testing on T1 Macs would be
appreciated.

That hunk and the one below make me very nervous. Is there any reason
preventing you to keep hid_parse() at the same place?

The rest of the series looks fine as everything seems properly guarded
by MT_CLS_APPLE_TOUCHBAR.

Wouldn't we need to parse in order to do hid_find_field? Although I haven't tried putting it at the same place tbh.
