This series adds support for the magnetic pogo-pin smart keyboards of
the OnePlus Pad 3 Pro / Pad 4 and the OPPO Pad 5 Pro. The keyboard is
built around a Tinno MCU attached to a tablet UART. Both sides share a
single data wire, so the host gates its transmission onto the bus with a
PMIC GPIO for the duration of a frame, and every host frame is echoed
back on RX.
The MCU speaks a framed "one wire bus" protocol over the half-duplex
921600 8N1 UART: 8x 0x55 preamble, 0xF1, src/dst addresses, command,
length, payload, CRC16-IBM (poly 0x8005, init 0xC596), 0xFE and 4x 0xAA.
The protocol was reverse engineered from the vendor kernel driver; this
is a clean-room serdev reimplementation that replaces the downstream
platform driver, which depends on a private msm_geni_serial callback and
a user-space held tty fd.
Patch 1 adds the DT binding for the "oneplus,pogo-keyboard" device,
describing the supply, TX-gate and wake GPIOs and the touchpad geometry,
with a MAINTAINERS entry.
Patch 2 adds the driver: keyboard matrix, touchpad, function and URL
keys, caps-lock LED, attach detection through the wake GPIO plus a
100 ms heartbeat timeout, and the keyboard backlight as a
"pogo-keyboard::kbd_backlight" LED class device so UPower and the
desktop keyboard-backlight controls drive it through the standard
interface (the level is cached while detached and restored on
re-attach). A sysfs battery level is exported for the keyboards that
carry a battery.
Tested on the OnePlus Pad 4 (iceland) running Linux 7.2.0-sm8850
(v7.2-based iceland tree).
