Research notes (unverified)
- Early 2015 and 2017 share this identifier and all components. Thunderbolt 2.
- PCIe flash storage speaks AHCI. The FaceTime HD camera is a PCIe device (Broadcom 1570) that needs the out-of-tree facetimehd driver.
- BCM4360 Wi-Fi has no in-kernel 802.11ac driver; the proprietary wl driver is the usual route.
