[PATCH v3 00/10] Add support for Apple Silicon DockChannel internal keyboards

[Michael Reeves via B4 Relay]

This series introduces support for the internal keyboards on Apple
Silicon M2 and M3 MacBook models.

On these platforms, built-in input devices are managed by a dedicated
coprocessor running an RTKit-based operating system. Communication
between this coprocessor and the main processor is carried out over a
low-latency hardware byte FIFO interface called DockChannel.

To support this input path, the series introduces a few new components:
- An apple-dockchannel mailbox driver to handle the low-level
  byte-stream FIFO.
- A DockChannel HID transport driver (apple-hid) that boots the
  coprocessor using the RTKit framework and encapsulates the HID
  protocol over the mailbox.
- Minor additions to the apple-rtkit and hid-apple drivers to support
  the TraceKit endpoint and integrate the keyboards into the existing
  input-quirks framework.
- Devicetree bindings and DTS updates to describe the nodes on M2 and
  M3 laptops.

The transport driver is based on an original out-of-tree implementation
by Hector Martin, but it has been significantly rewritten for upstream
inclusion to use the standard Linux mailbox framework and align better
with upstream HID design patterns and reduce reliance on hacks.

While the coprocessor manages both the keyboard and the trackpad, this
series only enables keyboard support. The keyboard can be initialised
without loading external firmware, whereas the trackpad requires
firmware. Trackpad support will be submitted in a subsequent series
once these base transport layers are established.

Tested on: MacBook Air M3 (J613).

Changes in v3:
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260918-apple-mtp-keyboard-final-v2-0-a5c685e50b60@xxxxxxxxx/
- Fix failed-probe cleanup and interface publication ordering.
- Fix report lengths/types and reject replacement descriptors.
- Terminate serial replies and encode checksums as little endian.
- Honor HID_QUIRK_IGNORE_SPECIAL_DRIVER.
- Clarify the DockChannel TX byte register layout.
- All changes above address Sashiko feedback.

Changes in v2:
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/asahi/20260630-apple-mtp-keyboard-final-v1-0-506d936a1707@xxxxxxxxx/
- Rebase onto latest upstream and add M3 Pro/Max device-tree support.
- Use an optional STM node to decide whether to wait for device IDs
  (suggested by Yureka Lilian).
- Rename bindings to match the t8112 fallback (suggested by Conor Dooley).
- Fix FIFO MMIO write width (suggested by Yureka Lilian) and run mailbox
  interrupt handling in the IRQ thread.
- Remove the duplicate report fixup (suggested by Sasha Finkelstein)
  and redundant HID dependency (suggested by Julian Braha).
- Fix teardown and the missing HID stop callback; simplify interface lookup.
