Research notes (unverified)
  1. Fanless 12-inch Retina MacBook with a single USB-C port (charging, USB and DisplayPort through an adapter).
  2. Keyboard, trackpad and backlight connect over SPI (in-kernel applespi driver). Bluetooth is on UART (hci_uart). The FaceTime HD camera is a PCIe device needing the out-of-tree facetimehd driver.
  3. BCM4350 Wi-Fi uses brcmfmac.
