makepkg refuses to build this package now with this error message: ==> ERROR: groups does not allow empty values. I found another AUR package that ran into this same problem. They had to remove groups=('') from the PKGBUILD to resolve it.

When I try to run makepkg with this, I run into the following error:

Any ideas?

I'm running 6.4.3-arch1-1 on a MacBookPro13,3

I have the following modules in my mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=(applespi intel_lpss_pci spi_pxa2xx_platform)

Thanks for updating the PKGBUILD to use the new git repository! I can confirm that the DKMS now builds and works with linux-lts (currently 6.1.34-1-lts).

Ever since Linux 6.0, there's been issues building this driver.

The first issue:

applespi.c:1810:38: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct efivar_entry'

The second issue:

applespi.c:1846.c:1846:15 error: implicit declaration of function "efivar_entry_set_safe" [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Patching out the back light functionality of the touchbar driver seems to at least fix the first issue: https://github.com/marc-git/macbook12-spi-driver/commit/b50cbf3c047acbcfd66dac4e8ebb649d0f4de3c8

I don't have a device with a touchbar, check upstream for any documentation about setting it up: https://gist.github.com/roadrunner2/1289542a748d9a104e7baec6a92f9cd7#keyboardtouchpadtouchbar

Currently running on kernel 5.19 on a 2016 15" macbook pro. The touchpad and keyboard drivers seem to work but I don't get anything on the touchbar. I don't receive any errors when modprobing the ib-tb driver. Anything I'm missing?

I made a fix for Linux 5.18.1, can you add it to the PKGBUILD? Thanks! https://github.com/BrianValente/macbook12-spi-driver/commit/2905d318d1a3ee1a227052490bf20eddef2592f9.patch

@nrobinson2000 Added the missing patch for linux-5.13.
