Re: Bug 215744 - input from the accelerometer disappeared, regression on amd_sfh on kernel 5.17
From: Marco
Date: Mon Apr 04 2022 - 17:51:35 EST
I've added the three test cases (dmesg + sudo monitor-sensor on all three tests) on the bug report on bugzilla.kernel.org. One is with the stock kernel from arch, 5.17.1. The other two is using zen patches on top of 5.17. One is without the three reverts above mentioned. Sensor is missing still. Then my same custom configuration only with the three reverts applied. The sensor is back and working.
If you need anything more, just let me know.

Reverting this and the the other two on top fixed this. Tried to not revert only the above mentioned commit, but it's still not working.
