Re: [PATCH v2] Input: synaptics - disable intertouch for Lenovo L440

[Jonathan Denose <jdenose@chromium.org>]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your reply. As an update, I was able to try the patch here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/YgHTYrODoo2ou49J@google.com/ and it
resolves the suspend/resume issue on this device. I'm not sure what
the status of the linked patch is, to me it doesn't look like it was
merged anywhere.

Especially, since it has a large area and several buttons. PS/2 only reports position data for two fingers so three finger gestures is another example.

On resume, the PS/2 driver should send a command over the PS/2 interface to switch the touchpad firmware back into intertouch (SMBus) mode. The logs you provided look like that's what is happening here. The SMBus driver is sending commands, but the touchpad firmware won't respond until it is switch back into intertouch mode. It has been a while since I have worked on these touchpads, but from what I remember I think there is code in the psmouse-smbus driver to handle these situations. I added Benjamin Tissoires to CC since I think he worked on that handling. I thought suspend / resume was tested on with these "top button" touchpads when support for them was added. I don't know if the L440 specifically included in the testing. I'm curious if this is a regression or not.

I'm attaching some of the logs that I captured when the touchpad was failing on resume. I think the main culprit is i2c_smbus_read_byte_data where the driver is unable to get the SMBus version number. I get the following lines in dmesg:
