Arch Linux

Description:
The internal keyboard on the Acer Chromebook [url=http://us-store.acer.com/chromebook-14-cb3-431-c5fm]CB3-431-C5FM[/url] does not work with the stock Arch Linux kernel.


Additional info:
It has an [url=http://ark.intel.com/products/91831/Intel-Celeron-Processor-N3160-2M-Cache-up-to-2_24-GHz]Intel Celeron N3160[/url] which uses the Braswell architecture.
The built in keyboard and trackpad do not work with the stock Arch Linux kernel. As it turns out this requires that the kernel be compiled with the CONFIG_PINCTRL_CHERRYVIEW=y as was suggested to me both [url=https://plus.google.com/113855420290588243576/posts/QL54F4MtMuL]on this Coreboot for Chromebooks Google Group thread[/url] and [url=https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1642646#p1642646]in the forums[/url].

I have recompiled the Arch Linux Kernel with the above mentioned kernel config parameter and built an Arch Live iso that I remastered with the new kernel. To my delight the keyboard now works.

Are there any plans to start compiling the kernel with this config param?

Steps to reproduce:
Acquire above mentioned Chromebook or something running a SoC with Braswell architecture.
Use [url=https://johnlewis.ie/custom-chromebook-firmware/rom-download/]John Lewis' flashrom script[/url] with the RW_LEGACY option.
Attempt to run the stock kernel. Have your usb keyboard handy...
Recompile the kernel with the kernel config parameter CONFIG_PINCTRL_CHERRYVIEW=y
Remaster an arch live iso with the new kernel.
This arch live bootable should now support the keyboard.
