Argh, so quick search shows that there might be quite a few clones of
W650SH floating around, and I wonder if any of W650SF/W650SJ/W670SJQ/
W650SR/W650SZ exhibit the same behavior.

We might need to revert the nomux back to the original setting, although
I really do not want to do this: in my opinion it is better to have
touchpad revert to basic mode on affected laptops and work on
re-enabling MUX on them instead of having touchpad/keyboard completely
hosed from the get-go.

Linus, any guidance here? Can we live with such regression?

Thanks.
