@frank604: Thanks! I simply just don't use a MacBook any more, so I don't need this package, nor is it simple for me to test it.
Upstream has been pretty stable though, so I don't expect it to break soon.

Wow hobz, after so many years of improving and maintaining this package, kudos to you sir.

I no longer own hardware which uses this driver, so I'll be disowning this package since I can't even test it any more.
Feel free to adopt this if you'd like to maintain this package.

ocpi_osi="!Darwin"

I also never use Thunderbolt though I use the mini display port. Just to clarify that should we put acpi_osi=!Darwin, or acpi_osi="!Darwin"?

@melmeiro Honestly, I can't quite recall why I had to set acpi_osi=!Darwin, but I do believe it had to do with battery duration.
I very rarely use TB, and never hotplug it (though I do use the Mini DisplayPort), so I don't care (or even know) if hotplugging actually works for me.

After reading rembo10's comment, I made a research of "acpi_osi=!Darwin", and read a bunch of topics and discussions, in which they refer to "acpi_osi=Darwin". Besides, there is a news about "Thunderbolt hotplug support for Apple devices" in the LWN. You can access the story from "https://lwn.net/Articles/575364/". I am just curious that is the difference between acpi_osi="!Darwin" and acpi_osi=Darwin. The second one already works like charm on my system. Thanks for your time.

I can also confirm this. Note that's it's acpi_osi="!Darwin" (@melmeiro ommited the "!").
I actually already had this kernel option because it greatly improves battery life, so all I had to do was actually remove the package.
Since I won't be using this anymore, I'll no longer be maitaining this package, feel free to adopt it.

After reading rembo10's comment, I have decided to give a shut to putting acpi_osi=Darwin in kernel options. It worked like a charm. I will no longer keep in using mba6x_bl driver on my Macbook Air (early-2014). Thanks a lot. You made my day.

Hey - not sure if this helps anyone but adding acpi_osi="!Darwin" to my kernel options, I no longer needed to use this package
