Keyboard and touchpad stopped working on several Apple Macbooks from the year 2017 using kernel 6.12.xx . Until now I could only find this discussion affirming the bug on Debian and Fedora: https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux/issues/202
On siduction I also tried the more recent kernels 6.14.5 and mainline 6.15-rc4 (from Ubuntu) and the issue persisted with my testdevice MacBookPro14,1 -- see the relevant output:

Hi Jörg
Did you try bisecting the faulty commit? Is is starting from 6.12 or some version above it?
You can also try testing pre-compiled kernels from here:
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/
or here:

It appears that all DMA faults are related to a fixed address, 0xffffa000. Is this address something special?
Also what does below message mean from a SPI driver's perspective?
"applespispi-APP000D:00: Error writing to device: 01 0e 00 00"
I am asking this because the IOMMU fault messages are about DMA Reads (device raised memory read), while above message complains failing to write to device.
Thanks, baolu

When sending a command to the peripheral device applespi expects it to acknowledge successful transfer with
static u8 status_ok[] = { 0xac, 0x27, 0x68, 0xd5 };
but we are getting "01 0e 00 00" instead.
See applespi_check_write_status() in drivers/input/Keyboard/applespi.c
Thanks.
