Dear all

Our users need support for newer MacBook keyboards and touchpads.
Starting with Linux kernel v5.3 this driver is included upstream.

After integrating the current Linux kernel from Debian backports, the
MacBook keyboards and touchpads of our users are still not working.
After some research we found out that the reason is that
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_APPLESPI=m is not enabled in the Debian kernel packages.
This was already reported in October (see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=943337).

Because of the omnipresence of secure boot and kernel lockdown
mechanisms we already lost the freedom to simply build and distribute
our own kernel and modules but are dependent on working upstream
distribution kernels. So, because we simply can't fix this ourselfs,
could you please fix this issue?

Thank you very much for your hard work!

Best regards

Ronny
