Hi Kenny,

Unfortunately, your fix doesn't help in our case as there is no sleep
before the second call to
i2c_hid_fetch_hid_descriptor().

Saying more, this STM exposes two i2c addresses (connected physically
to the same bus)
one is the HID interface and the other one gives an access to the base
firmware and is
served by cros_ec_i2c driver and actually thanks to this driver,
touchpad is woken up because
In the resume path cros_ec_i2c "starts talking" through the i2c bus
thus generating a wakeup
interrupt.

So we need to send a dummy (or any other) transaction that may fail to
wake up the controller after
a whole chromebook rebook and on the resume path.

Best regards,
Lukasz
