Hello Dell kernel people,

I recently started using a Latitude E7470 (with BIOS version 1.4.2) as
my primary machine and have found that the touchpad seems to come up as
a standard emulated PS/2 device.

    input: ImPS/2 BYD TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6

Sadly simply blacklisting psmouse doesn't resolve this. I found this
rather surprising for this to be the case with such modern hardware and
have grown used to having a functional touchpad so I started to do some
digging.

I started by dumping the machine's DSDT [1] to find that the touchpad's
I2C interface appears to be conditional [2] on some embedded controller
state exposed to the system via the SDS0 field of the GNVS OpRegion
(which appears to be 0 on my system).

I have verified the values of OSYS (which is 0x07df on my machine) and
SDM0 (which is 0x1), so SDS0 seems as though the only remaining barrier
to having the i2c-hid touchpad properly exposed in the ACPI tables is
SDS0.

So, does anyone know what might influence the value of SDS0 provided by
the EC? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

- Ben
