Subject: [PATCH v14 1/3] spi: pxa2xx: disable DMA for Apple MacBook8,1
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:07:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260718160702.7861-2-fourdollars@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260718160702.7861-1-fourdollars@debian.org>
On MacBook8,1 (early 2015 12" MacBook), the LPSS SPI controller at
00:15.4 suffers from hardware DMA handshake failures and interrupt
routing bugs, causing keyboard/touchpad transactions to fail when
DMA is enabled.
Move the forced PIO mode DMI quirk to spi-pxa2xx-pci.c (the LPSS host
controller PCI glue driver) to avoid layering violations in client
drivers (such as applespi).
Add an explicit DMI match table for MacBook8,1 and a module parameter
spi_pxa2xx_force_pio to allow forcing PIO mode on demand.
