Re: [PATCH v2] Input: synaptics - disable intertouch for Lenovo L440

[Andrew Duggan]

Hi Lyude and Jonathan,

I was just about to reply and suggest that we look into this issue a little more since the touchpad in the L440 would benefit from the additional data from the intertouch interface. Especially, since it has a large area and several buttons. PS/2 only reports position data for two fingers so three finger gestures is another example.

Generally, these types of suspend / resume issues are the result of the touchpad resetting and the firmware expecting commands from the PS/2 interface. On resume, the PS/2 driver should send a command over the PS/2 interface to switch the touchpad firmware back into intertouch (SMBus) mode. The logs you provided look like that's what is happening here. The SMBus driver is sending commands, but the touchpad firmware won't respond until it is switch back into intertouch mode. It has been a while since I have worked on these touchpads, but from what I remember I think there is code in the psmouse-smbus driver to handle these situations. I added Benjamin Tissoires to CC since I think he worked on that handling. I thought suspend / resume was tested on with these "top button" touchpads when support for them was added. I don't know if the L440 specifically included in the testing. I'm curious if this is a regression or not.

Regarding the patch, I do have one comment below:

I'm attaching some of the logs that I captured when the touchpad was failing on resume. I think the main culprit is i2c_smbus_read_byte_data where the driver is unable to get the SMBus version number. I get the following lines in dmesg:

While this does seem to elliminate the message, the touchpad in the L440 is not a forcepad. Adding the L440 PnP ID here implies that it is one of these special forcepads which reports "force" data for contacts and that is not the case here.
