Hi,

I'm trying to run -current on MacBook Pro 2017, and with recent fixes to 
EFIRT, there's a hope.  The problem is that nothing essential works, and 
while I can live with usb wifi adapter, getting internal 
keyboard/touchpad to work would be really nice.

It has been extensively discussed on linux lists suggesting that those 
are connected via SPI in these models:

There's also a WIP linux driver for those and touchbar:

Just wondering if anyone already working on it and/or can provide some 
initial guidance before starting my clumsy attempts at porting it.
