[Bug 2098063] Re: Missing support for USB-C Apple Magic Trackpad

Hi Robert, I noticed your update and was going to submit the patch to
our 6.11 trees, but it appears to already be there. Maybe it just hasn't
made it into the update cycle yet, but it's headed that way.

Missing support for USB-C Apple Magic Trackpad

Bug description:
Hi,

The Ubuntu kernel (at least 6.11.0-1015-oem) is missing support for
the USB-C version of the Apple Magic Trackpad. This is the only
version of the Magic Trackpad that can be purchased from Apple any
more. They no longer sell the Lightning version.

Support was added in upstream commit "HID: magicmouse: Apple Magic
Trackpad 2 USB-C driver support"
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/87a2f10395c82c2b4687bb8611a6c5663a12f9e7).
Can you please backport this commit to the Ubuntu kernel?

Without this commit the trackpad cannot scroll or do other gestures,
right click or middle click, tapping does not work, etc. All it can do
is move the mouse cursor and left click.

The Debian 6.1 and 6.12 kernels have this commit and the device works
fine on those kernels.

Thanks!
