Apple USB keyboards carry the HID keyboard boot protocol on the second interface. Using the second interface in the USB keyboard driver does not work since the xhci has not allocated a transfer ring.
So, what does this patch do ? That is not clear from the commit message.
rewritten for v2: | usb: xhci: Set up endpoints for the first 2 interfaces | | The xhci driver currently only does the necessary initialization for | endpoints found in the first interface descriptor. Apple USB keyboards | (released 2021) use the second interface descriptor for the HID keyboard | boot protocol. To allow USB drivers to use endpoints from other | interface descriptors the xhci driver needs to ensure these endpoints | are initialized as well. | Use USB_MAX_ACTIVE_INTERFACES to control how many interface descriptors | are initialized and useable. Currently defined to 2 as that is enough to | make the Apple keyboard usable.
Would it make sense to make this a tunable Kconfig option ?
Maybe, but it should probably be enabled everywhere where CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD as folks will connect their Apple keyboard to non-Apple hardware as well. And I think someone mentioned on the #asahi irc channel that there are othe keyboards that have the boot protocol on the second interface descriptor.
