You don't need this: sysrc cloned_interfaces+=iwm0

Regarding the patches: I don't know if you need them now, I managed to
make it work with Section "InputDevice" instead of Section "InputClass"
and attaching them to layout manually. In that case they don't
duplicate each other. There is a patch for broken ioctl syscall which
make thing fall off once per week completely, I haven't tried it yet ht

I'm using modeseting and libinput, and the machine is carbon 5th gen.
