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].

Update: The DRM driver finally got upstreamed and will be there in 6.15. Now only these multitouch patches are left for complete support for the touchbar.
