So if I build using makepkg, will the poweroff patches automatically be applied?

Sorry if I am being an idiot, but for the life of me I cannot find the instructions to get the power off on the Retina Macbook Pro Mid 2015 to work correctly. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Hey everyone -- first off thanks for all the feedback and getting involved, very appreciated!
So I was able to finish updating this port to 4.9 with the necessary patches required. I was able to adjust the brightness, suspend/resume and power-off the machine without any issues. Hopefully these updates help others that had issues with the 4.8 branch!
Thanks again, please report back on any successes or failures.
NOTE: if you were running this kernel since 4.8, you no longer need disable_mode=1 in your boot options.

Just a quick update everyone -- I got 4.9.9 to compile, but on reboot it said it couldn't find initrd or something to that effect (the text on the screen was too small for me to read). Anyway, I probably just missed something in the PKGBUILD but I should have this done and committed in a day or so.
That is, unless they push out 4.9.10 -- anyone know why the kernel releases have been super aggressive recently (in the past year or so)?

@crencom I have been actively working on getting this up to date with 4.9 -- I've ported over all the files, hooks and configs from the base kernel since it went from testing to base but I haven't cracked it yet. I'm hoping to get something working in a few days tho, getting super close.

I have the 2015 MBPr 11,5 and have successfully installed this kernel version. Has anyone attempted to build a newer kernel version - 4.9, 4.10? I am trying to build the 4.9.6, but am erroring out at the PCI Quirk driver. Which seems to be related to the poweroff quirk patch. Any ideas?

People who experience regular freezes, have you found a solution ?
I get myself freezes, especially when watching videos on youtube or netflix.

@jjhoughton - In retrospect that should've been obvious. Thanks for your help! I can confirm that on a 2015 MacBook Pro this allows you to control the screen backlight with gmux_backlight.

@crobbins You just install it using pacman
sudo pacman -U linux-macbook-4.8.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz linux-macbook-headers-4.8.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
and then just add an entry in grub as you said. You should see these two files in your boot directory initramfs-linux-macbook.img vmlinuz-linux-macbook the first being your initrd and the second the kernel.

I used makepkg to build linux-macbook, but it's not clear how to actually install and configure it. I can add a boot entry in GRUB, and I see stuff in the pkg dir, but I doubt I'm supposed to just copy the files around manually. How do you properly install this package?
