Hi,

I'm trying to help various users with Asus X450 and Asus X550 laptops
to get their touchpad to work:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1110011

We believe that this touchpad is connected over i2c, using the
i2c-designware-platform driver.

If you look at the DSDT attached there you can clearly see
nodes defines which should lead to e.g. :

/sys/bus/platform/devices/INT33C2:00

Showing up (which should then be bound by i2c-designware-platform).

But nothing is showing up, not a single ACPI defined device shows
up actually:

Which is weird, since any recent machine usually has at least one or 2
show up.
It depends whether the BIOS has enabled those or not.

If

  # cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/INT33C2:00/status
  # cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/INT33C3:00/status

returns 0xf, then the device should be there, otherwise it is not.
Interesting. Marcos, can you give this a try please ?
Hans, both here returned 0. As I said to you, I'm using Fedora in insecure
mode (I don't know if this changes anything).
That just means that your BIOS has disabled these devices. Unless there
is a menu somewhere in BIOS setup to enable these, there is nothing we
can do in the kernel to make them appear.
When I removed Windows, I did a mistake removing the EFI partition. I didn't boot my Fedora. After that, I created a new EFI partition with Anaconda. Maybe this can related to the problem?

The "status" refers directly shat _STA() ACPI method returns.
Ok, so assuming that Marcos' testing shows it is not enabled,
is there anything we can, could there be some ACPI call to
enable these devs ?

Note that the device could also be in PCI mode, in case lspci should
show it.
Right, it does not show in lspci.
OK. So I think that this particular machine, either does not have Intel
LPSS (it is not Haswell-LP) or the devices have been deliberately
disabled for some reason.
