Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.19-6.18] HID: multitouch: add quirks for Lenovo Yoga Book 9i
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 19:59:10 -0500 [thread overview]

[ Upstream commit 822bc5b3744b0b2c2c9678aa1d80b2cf04fdfabf ]
The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a dual-screen laptop, with a single composite
USB device providing both touch and tablet interfaces for both screens.
All inputs report through a single device, differentiated solely by report
numbers. As there is no way for udev to differentiate the inputs based on
USB vendor/product ID or interface numbers, custom naming is required to
match against for downstream configuration. A firmware bug also results
in an erroneous InRange message report being received after the stylus
leaves proximity, blocking later touch events. Add required quirks for
Gen 8 to Gen 10 models, including a new quirk providing for custom input
device naming and dropping erroneous InRange reports.

## Commit Analysis: HID: multitouch: add quirks for Lenovo Yoga Book 9i
### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS
The commit message is clear and well-structured. Key signals:
- **"firmware bug"** explicitly mentioned — erroneous InRange reports
block touch events
- **Closes: bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220386** — tracked
kernel bug
- **Reported-by: Andrei Shumailov** — user-reported real-world issue
- **Tested-by** from both the author (Brian Howard) and another user
(Kris Fredrick) — multiple testers
- **Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina** — accepted by HID subsystem maintainer
The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a dual-screen laptop shipping to consumers.
All touch/stylus inputs are multiplexed through a single USB composite
device.
### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS
The commit makes changes in **two files** with **73 lines added**:
**a) `drivers/hid/hid-ids.h` — 1 line:**
Adds `USB_DEVICE_ID_LENOVO_YOGABOOK9I 0x6161`. Standard device ID
addition.
**b) `drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c` — 72 lines across 5 insertion
points:**
1. **New quirk flag** (`MT_QUIRK_YOGABOOK9I BIT(24)`) — follows the
existing pattern (BIT(23) is `MT_QUIRK_APPLE_TOUCHBAR`).
2. **New device class** (`MT_CLS_YOGABOOK9I 0x0115`) — standard pattern,
same as `MT_CLS_APPLE_TOUCHBAR 0x0114`, `MT_CLS_SIS 0x0457`, etc.
3. **Class definition in `mt_classes[]`** (~8 lines) — combines existing
quirk flags (`MT_QUIRK_ALWAYS_VALID`, `MT_QUIRK_FORCE_MULTI_INPUT`,
`MT_QUIRK_SEPARATE_APP_REPORT`, `MT_QUIRK_HOVERING`) plus the device-
specific `MT_QUIRK_YOGABOOK9I`. Sets `export_all_inputs = true`. This
is the exact same pattern used by many existing classes (e.g.,
`MT_CLS_WIN_8_FORCE_MULTI_INPUT`).
4. **Firmware bug workaround in `mt_report()`** (~30 lines) — **THE
CRITICAL FIX**: After the stylus leaves proximity, the device
firmware erroneously sends an all-zero report with InRange set. This
report is consumed by the multitouch stack and blocks subsequent
touch events. The fix detects these bogus reports (all relevant
digitizer fields — InRange, TipSwitch, BarrelSwitch, BarrelSwitch2,
ContactID, TiltX, TiltY — are zero) and drops them by returning
early. Without this fix, **touch input becomes non-functional** after
stylus use.
5. **Custom naming in `mt_input_configured()`** (~20 lines) — Maps
report IDs to human-readable names (e.g., report 48→"Touchscreen
Top", 56→"Touchscreen Bottom", 20→"Stylus Top", 40→"Stylus Bottom",
80→"Emulated Touchpad"). Since all inputs come through a single USB
device with no interface differentiation, udev has **no other way**
to distinguish which input corresponds to which physical screen.
Without this, the dual-screen touchscreen/stylus configuration is
effectively impossible.
6. **Device ID table entry** (~6 lines) — Standard `HID_DEVICE()` entry
mapping `USB_VENDOR_ID_LENOVO` + `USB_DEVICE_ID_LENOVO_YOGABOOK9I` to
`MT_CLS_YOGABOOK9I`.
### 3. CLASSIFICATION
This is a **hardware quirk/workaround**, which falls squarely under the
"QUIRKS and WORKAROUNDS" stable exception:
- Fixes firmware-induced bug that blocks touch events (bug fix)
- Adds device-specific naming for a multiplexed USB device (hardware
workaround for udev differentiation)
- Uses the well-established `hid-multitouch` quirk framework
- Pattern is identical to Apple Touch Bar, ASUS, SIS, Razer Blade
Stealth, Smart Tech, and many other device-specific quirk additions
### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT
**Scope**: 73 lines added across 2 files. All changes are behind a
**device-specific quirk flag** (`MT_QUIRK_YOGABOOK9I`) that is **only
activated** for USB VID:PID `0x17ef:0x6161` (Lenovo Yoga Book 9i).
**Risk**: **EXTREMELY LOW**. The changes:
- Are only triggered for one specific USB device ID
- Do not modify any common code paths
- Do not change behavior for any other hardware
- Use only existing framework constructs (`mt_classes[]` entries, quirk
flags, `mt_report()` filtering, `mt_input_configured()` naming)
- Are well-tested by multiple users
**Dependencies**: The commit is self-contained. It uses standard HID
definitions (`HID_DG_INRANGE`, `HID_DG_TIPSWITCH`, etc.) and `hid-
multitouch` structures that exist in all current stable trees (v6.1,
v6.6, v6.12). The `for (int ...)` C11 syntax is valid in all stable
trees (kernel uses `-std=gnu11` since v5.18+). The only backport
adjustment needed is the context around BIT(23)/BIT(24) numbering — in
stable trees without `MT_QUIRK_APPLE_TOUCHBAR` (v6.12 and earlier), the
BIT number would need adjustment from 24 to 23. This is a trivial
context fixup.
### 5. USER IMPACT
**HIGH for affected users**: The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i (Gen 8-10) is a
commercially available dual-screen laptop. Without this fix:
- Touch input **stops working** after stylus use (firmware InRange bug)
- Both screens cannot be independently configured (no input
differentiation)
The bugzilla (#220386) and multiple Reported-by/Tested-by tags confirm
this affects real users.
### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS
- Tested-by from author (Brian Howard) and second tester (Kris Fredrick)
- Signed-off by HID subsystem maintainer (Jiri Kosina)
- Kernel bugzilla with tracking
- Follows well-established pattern in hid-multitouch with many precedent
quirk additions
### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK
No dependencies on other patches. The commit is completely self-
contained. All referenced symbols (`HID_DG_INRANGE`, `HID_DG_TIPSWITCH`,
`mt_find_report_data`, `rdata->application->quirks`, `hi->report->id`,
etc.) exist in all current stable kernel trees. Minor context adjustment
may be needed for older stable trees lacking the Apple Touch Bar quirk.
### Verdict
This commit fixes a real firmware bug that **blocks touch events** on
the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i, making the device partially non-functional. It
also provides necessary input naming for the dual-screen device to be
properly configurable. All changes are device-specific hardware quirks
behind a USB VID:PID-gated quirk flag with zero risk to other devices.
The commit follows the well-established hid-multitouch quirk pattern, is
tested by multiple users, and is accepted by the subsystem maintainer.
This is textbook "hardware quirk for a broken device" — exactly the type
of change stable trees are designed to accept.
