Wrongly bound Elantech touchpad on Lenovo Yoga Slim 7

[Takashi Iwai]

Hi,

we've got a bug report on openSUSE Bugzilla about the broken touchpad
on Lenovo Yoga Slim 7:
  https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193064

The touchpad is an Elantech one, connected over i2c, and there are two
drivers supporting it.  Unfortunately, the default one the system
binds, elan-i2c input driver, doesn't seem working properly, while
i2c-hid driver works.

I'm not sure what's the best fix for this, but below a quick
workaround using a deny list with DMI matching.
If this is OK, I can resubmit the patch for merging.

Any comments appreciated.


thanks,

Takashi

Subject: [PATCH] Input: elan_i2c: Add deny list for Lenovo Yoga Slim 7

The touchpad on Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 doesn't work well with elan-i2c but
rather better with i2c-hid.  Add a deny list for avoiding to bind with
elan-i2c.
