Hi, after using your patched mbp kernel since early 2020 (thanks for your job !) I must admit I was a bit curious about the whole process to achieve that... and since there seem to be some issues to patch the latest kernel releases (5.8.x) I decided to start reading a couple of days ago.. well this morning I managed to build and use my first kernel (5.7.17) and tonight I also succeeded in building a patched kernel 5.8.5.

So far it seems to work properly... these are the patches I used for applesmc (only a couple of changes between 5.7.17 and 5.8.5 with usleep_range replacing udelay) and hid-apple (some more code already present in the patch has been introduced in 5.8.5 source). mbp_kernel-5.8.5_patches_applesmc_hid-apple.zip

Let me know if that helps.

My exact experience with 5.8.5 has been the following:

• coredump after first reboot
• freeze after login for second reboot
• working fine since third reboot, not a single issue in the last 3 weeks using it daily and much faster boot time (around 12 seconds) than any other kernel release
