I developed the atp driver using a Macbook4,1; which is fairly outdated.

A bit of reading shows that the touchpads on modern Macbooks use
BCM5974, which "reports both mouse and keyboard events via different
interfaces of the same usb device."
[https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/input/bcm5974.txt]. This is
different from the original atp hardware, and there might be some
additional work required here.

I'd prefer to add support for something recent. Referring to the sources
of the bcm5974 driver in linux, I find we should aim for something at
least as recent as a MacbookPro8 (unibody, March 2011) or MacbookAir3,2
(unibody, late 2010).

thanks,
