Merged back in 2018 for Linux 5.0 was support for the Apple Magic Trackpad 2. Merged this week for the in-development Linux 7.0 kernel is fixing battery reporting for those using the Magic Trackpad 2 under Linux.

This week's HID fixes pull for Linux 7.0-rc3 contains just a few fixes. There are some memory leak fixes in some of the C code, potential kernel crashes in some of the drivers, and also fixing a potential null pointer dereference too. For end users what's likely most notable is fixing battery reporting for the Apple Magic Trackpad 2.
