Gaah. I hadn't tested this on my laptop, and instead of beign a
regression fix, this looks like a new regression. My touchpad on the
xps 13 9350 no longer works after this.
Now, I'm not 100% certain it is this particular change, but I'm about
half-way through the bisection, and this is the only thing that looks
even remotely likely.
And yes, the xps13 does use i2c_designware for the touchpad.
I'll finish the bisection just top be sure, but the rest in there
really looks like kvm stuff etc that shouldn't possibly affect the
touchpad.
So this commit will almost certainly be reverted unless somebody can
figure out why it breaks.
