[PATCH v3 0/9] arm64: mediatek: Chromebook trackpad supply fixes
From: Chen-Yu Tsai
Date: Tue Jul 21 2026 - 03:57:15 EST
Hi everyone,
This is v3 of my Chromebook trackpad supply fixes and optimization
series.
Changes since v2:
- Added new regulator "enable and wait" functions that wait until at
least the given amount of time has passed since the regulator was
last enabled.
- Converted patches to use the new functions
- New header inclusion cleanup patch for elan_i2c driver
This series fixes the trackpad descriptions on some MediaTek-based
Chromebooks: either the trackpad's supply was set as always-on to
workaround missing delays in the driver, or the delay and supply
are missing from the trackpad's device node.
v1 was just the first patch [1]. It has since grown to cover multiple
drivers and devices.
Patch 1 adds new "enable and wait" functions for single and bulk
regulator enable.
Patch 2 cleans up header inclusion for elan_i2c driver.
Patch 3 adds the correct enable delay after enabling the supply regulator
for the Elan trackpad to initialize. This uses the new "enable and wait"
regulator enable function.
Patch 4 applies the same logic of skipping the power on delay to the
i2c-hid-of driver.
Patch 5 applies the same logic of skipping the power on delay to the
i2c OF component prober library.
Patch 6 adds a delay between when the device node found is enabled and
when regulator_disable() is called. This gives an asynchronously probing
driver some time to increment the enable count of their regulator
reference, thus keeping the device operational and allowing the driver
to skip the initialization delay.
Patch 7 adds the correct delay for probing trackpads for Hana devices
to the ChromeOS OF component prober.
Patch 8 removes the "always-on" setting from the trackpad supply for
Elm / Hana and adds the correct delay to the second source trackpad.
This corrects the hardware description.
Patch 9 adds the supply and power on delay properties to the Synaptics
trackpad on the Spherion device. Combined with previous driver changes
this should cause no actual functional changes or delays.
Please take a look. Patches 3, 4, and 5 have build time dependencies
on patch 1. I suggest placing patch 1 on a separate immutable branch
or tag for the other maintainers to pull in. The three patches all have
different maintainers.
The DT changes must go in after all the driver changes land, especially
patch 3 that adds delays to the Elan trackpad driver. Otherwise the user
could potentially end up with a non-functional trackpad on the device.
Thanks
