Fix for Kernel Version >= 5.9

Fix for #54

Commit of the breaking change of the Kernel: torvalds/linux@78289b4

Works for me on mbp14,3 running 5.9.14-arch1-1 👍

Without this patch I'd get the problem described in #54.

Code change looks fine, too.

I have macbbook pro 13,3 and running fc33
I have applied the fix to the apple-ib-als.c:

/* iio_dev = iio_device_alloc(sizeof(als_dev)); */
iio_dev = iio_device_alloc(&als_dev->hid_dev->dev, sizeof(als_dev));

Then
sudo dkms install applespi/0.1 -k 5.9.16-200.fc33.x86_64/x86_64

which worked fine, then rebooted but still touchbar is not working.

The module doesn't seem to be running:
[root@mbp ~]# modprobe apple-ib-tb
[root@mbp ~]# lsmod | grep apple-ib-tb
[root@mbp ~]#

Any idea what I am missing?
Will this fix be available in any upstream kernel for fedora?

Do you have usbmuxd installed? usbmuxd breaks the touchbar driver.

I just forked this. There hasn't been an update here for 11 months and your patch does work.
