Re: [PATCH] platform/x86: ideapad-laptop: Stop sending KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE

Hi,

Commit 5829f8a897e4 ("platform/x86: ideapad-laptop: Send KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE on some models") made ideapad-laptop send KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE when we receive an ACPI notify with VPC event bit 5 set and the touchpad-state has not been changed by the EC itself already.

This was done under the assumption that this would be good to do to make the touchpad-toggle hotkey work on newer models where the EC does not toggle the touchpad on/off itself (because it is not routed through the PS/2 controller, but uses I2C).

But it turns out that at least some models, e.g. the Yoga 7-15ITL5 the EC triggers an ACPI notify with VPC event bit 5 set on resume, which would now cause a spurious KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE on resume to which the desktop environment responds by disabling the touchpad in software, breaking the touchpad (until manually re-enabled) on resume.

It was never confirmed that sending KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE actually improves things on new models and at least some new models like the Yoga 7-15ITL5 don't have a touchpad on/off toggle hotkey at all, while still sending ACPI notify events with VPC event bit 5 set.

So it seems best to revert the change to send KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE when receiving an ACPI notify events with VPC event bit 5 and the touchpad state as reported by the EC has not changed.

Note this is not a full revert the code to cache the last EC touchpad state is kept to avoid sending spurious KEY_TOUCHPAD_ON / _OFF events on resume.

I've applied this patch to my fixes branch now: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.g...

Note it will show up in my fixes branch once I've pushed my local branch there, which might take a while.

I will include this patch in my next fixes pull-req to Linus for the current kernel development cycle.

Regards,

Hans
