Nit:

The commit SHA should have only the first 12 characters.

https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#using-reported-by-tested-by-reviewed-by-suggested-by-and-fixes

Also, hid-appletb-kbd fix should be:

Fixes: 8e9b9152cfbd ("HID: hid-appletb-kbd: add driver for the keyboard mode of Apple Touch Bars")

I would also prefer having them as 2 separate patches.
