do you plan to integrate your work into the kernel development? Thank you for your hard work.

Thanks for update - the primary error is the pincfgs structures which must have been changed - cs8409_cs42l42_pincfgs is from the original 8409 module for Dell laptops - looks like pincfgs is now only used in patch_cs8409-tables.c and has been updated to static so the extern definition in patch_cs8409.h must have been removed - and the patches probably added it back.

Its unlikely Ill try and get it into the kernel - partly I really dont know enough about the kernel and how to do things - plus it based on reverse engineering (unlike the Dell version which I think was written by Cirrus engineers) - the Apple chips are proprietary versions - which makes integration unlikely supposedly - but mainly I just dont have the time.

I stick with the LTS kernel because Unreal Engine is sensitive to kernel header file changes - which then requires a total rebuild (a good hour on a very reasonable machine).
