[PATCH v2 0/2] HID: HID_APPLETB_KBD and HID_APPLETB_BL should depend on X86

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi all,

The Apple Touch Bar is only present on x86 MacBook Pros.  Hence this
patch series adds dependencies on X86, to prevent asking the user about
its drivers when configuring a kernel for a different architecture.

Changes compared to v1[1]:
  - Split in two patches,
  - Correct Fixes.

Thanks!

The Apple Touch Bar is only present on x86 MacBook Pros.  Hence add a

There are a lot of spaces before Hence. Also, Apple Touch Bar is present on some Arm MacBooks as well, so probably mention that this driver is only for touchbars on x86 Macs and there is a separate driver for the Arm Macs.

Anyways it's Jiri's and your call regarding this change.

That is intentional: double space between sentences.

Why is there a separate driver for Arm Macs?
Which driver is that?

Interesting choice

Because it is a completely different hardware on M1 Macs. On x86 Macs, it is a USB device + has both keyboard and drm mode. The keyboard mode makes it display a predefined set of keys and was made for Windows Bootcamp. The DRM mode, makes it a separate display, made for macOS.

On the M1s, it is not a USB device, nor has a keyboard mode. I forgot what exactly it used at the lower level, but it was quite different from the x86 Macs
