@kuringasan Sorry about the delay. The kernel tree does have an hid-apple module, but it does not support as many options as this patched version does. Apparently the authors of the patch have been trying to get the kernel developers to merge their contributions to no avail.

Anyhow, the package failed to build because kernel 6.12 changed the signature of a function, causing the old code not to build against newer kernels ( https://github.com/free5lot/hid-apple-patched/pull/100 ). Upstream has yet to accept this PR, so I have updated this package to apply the patch in the meantime.

Create the new hid-apple-patched-dkms-git package, then submit a request to merge this package into it.

Ok, no problem, I just bumped version and republished the old package because I still had a local copy. How do I do that, is it something I must do in this repo or I just submit it as new with the new name (after adjusting PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO, of course)?

The -git is a suffix. Please resubmit as hid-apple-patched-dkms-git.
