Touch Bar drivers (appletbdrm,hid-appletb-kb,hid-appletb-bl) were upstreamed in 6.15. Only apple-bce and userspace daemon(s) such as tiny-dfr are needed to use the Touch Bar on T2 Macs.

Set upstream support to "Partial" and remove the link to apple-ib repo.

I am also thinking about rewording:

Support for custom graphics on the Touch Bar is being actively developed.

as I believe upstream now supports graphics display with appletbdrm, and it's on userspace to use it, isn't it? I am unsure what that sentence wants to convey.

Graphics display is fully supported by upstream. Userspace daemons like tiny dfr have to be used to display something meaningful. If you want to make any other change, make it else I'll merge this.
