This is missing the driver to support the keyboard and trackpad
on 2015+ MacBooks and MacBook Pros / Airs.  Those machines make up
a large segment of the laptop market and are pretty much unusable
on Linux without the driver:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg207174.html

The patches have gone through 7 iterations, have been reviewed
extensively, all review comments were addressed properly and
the code is now in excellent shape.  The last iteration was
posted to the list 1 month ago, well in time to make it into
this merge window.  So I don't understand why it's not part
of this pull request.

Please consider submitting a second pull request for the ongoing
merge window with that driver.

Thanks,

Lukas
