For better or worse, Linux often takes on the responsibility of working around
firmware bugs. This is a real issue that affects multiple Asus laptops; you'll
have no touchpad input upon reboot from any OS that drives the touchpad in
"generic hid" mode (e.g. older version of Linux, some embedded OS, etc).
If the sleep is really that controversial, we could make it specific to the
ELAN1000 model that is the one in question here?
[KT] : I list all ASUS models with firmware issue which cause TP no function in
Endless OOB , please focuses on below types only
Ic_type : 14
Product_id : 0x14, 0x15, 0x16, 0x25, 0x18, 0x29, 0x2c, 0x31, 0x32, 0x35
You can add if branch in "__elan_initialize", something like that
if(data->ic_ytpe == 14 &&
(data->product_id == 0x14 || data->product_id == 0x15 ||
data->product_id == 0x16 ||
data->product_id == 0x25 || data->product_id == 0x18 ||
data->product_id == 0x29 ||
data->product_id == 0x2c || data->product_id == 0x31 ||
data->product_id == 0x32 || data->product_id == 0x35))
{ //flow for Endless}
Else {//original flow}
