Fan control, sensors, the light sensor, the motion sensor and the keyboard backlight in a single file with its own way of talking to the SMC. It is hard to extend and to support new machines. This series adds Intel Mac support to the macsmc drivers that were written for Apple Silicon (the Asahi implementation). The SMC works the same way on both platforms, so we share a lot of code with Asahi. Only the way of talking to the SMC differs. To make that work, patch 1 splits the macsmc driver into a common core and a backend. The existing RTKit code moves into its own backend. Patch 2 adds an ACPI backend for Intel Macs with I/O port, MMIO and interrupt support. After that, each function gets its own small driver using the standard kernel interfaces (hwmon, IIO, LEDs, power supply, RTC, watchdog), instead of one large driver doing everything. On Intel Macs these drivers replace applesmc (hwmon, light sensor, motion sensor and keyboard backlight) and acpi-sbs (battery and adapter). They are mutually exclusive with the drivers they replace, so only one is used at a time. This is an RFC to get early feedback on the design. The macsmc split and the Intel Mac backend touch fundamental parts, so I would rather change them now if maintainers ask. After that I will test the series on more macsand send it upstream as a proper series. The series is organised as follows: 1 Split macsmc into a core and backends 2 ACPI backend for Intel Macs 3-6 New drivers: watchdog, IIO light and accelerometer, keyboard backlight LED 7-9 RTC support for T2 Macs, a T2 detection flag, and disabling the broken ACPI RTCs 10-11 Power supply support, replacing acpi-sbs 12-13 hwmon support for Intel Macs 14 ioctl for userspace access to SMC keys Tested-on: MacBookPro16,1 , iMac20,1 , MacBookAir4,2 , MacBookPro12,1 , MacBookPro15,1 NOTE: Almost all drivers have been tested except the motion sensor driver as i was not able to find any device that had one.
