Subject: [RFC PATCH 08/14] treewide: Add a flag to detect the Apple T2 chip
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 04:52:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029085504.3547-9-atharvatiwarilinuxdev@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029085504.3547-1-atharvatiwarilinuxdev@gmail.com>
Add a flag to detect Apple T2 chips on Intel Macs.
Cache the result to avoid repeated checks. That will
be used in upcoming patches.
