[PATCH v3 3/5] Input: applespi - register touchpad synchronously in probe

From: Shih-Yuan Lee <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-20 16:22:31
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: input (keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen) drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Dmitry Torokhov, Linus Torvalds

Replace the asynchronous worker for touchpad registration with synchronous
registration during driver probe. Wait up to 3 seconds for the device info
packet and fallback to keyboard-only mode if a timeout occurs.

Prevent a kernel panic in debugfs by checking for a NULL touchpad_input_dev
in applespi_tp_dim_open() before dereferencing it, returning -ENODEV if the
device is operating in keyboard-only mode.

Protect rcvd_tp_info from data races by creating a local copy under
cmd_msg_lock before passing it to applespi_register_touchpad_device().
