Fwd: DELL0A78:00 27C6:0D42 Touchpad (gestures) doesn't work properly after resuming from suspend.

Hi,

I notice a bug report on Bugzilla [1]. Quoting from it:

> Description:
> ------------
> The touchpad doesn't function normally after resuming from suspend. Touch works most of the time so does the hardware click buttons. The things which don't work are touchpad multitouch gestures (2 fingers and 3 fingers) and cursor movement is also somewhat laggy.
> 
> Workaround:
> -----------
> removing the module i2c_hid_acpi just before suspend and adding it after resume seems to solve the problem. 
> 
> Script: (output of `cat /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/make-touchpad-work.sleep`)

>     modprobe -r i2c_hid_acpi

> I had prior hardware issues with the touchpad so I didn't notice 
> it for a very long time, each time such an issue appeared I thought it was a hardware issue. But the issue is still there even after fixing the hardware (loose ribbon cable). Before the hardware issue, there was an issue with resuming from suspend on my laptop (because of laptop begin particularly new AMD variant). So, if I remember correctly, the touchpad worked fine for particular duration between suspend issue being fixed and hardware issue appearing.

See Bugzilla for the full thread.

FYI, I forward the BZ report because it was assigned to generic `Kernel`
component instead, which missed linux-input list. I also add the reporter's
address to To: list so that you can reach him without having to go to
Bugzilla.

Thanks.
