There is intricate dance happening switching touchpad from legacy PS/2
into RMI mode, with touchpad being dependent not only on SMbus
controller, but also on i8042 keyboard controller and its PS/2 port (or
rather their emulation by the system firmware).

I wonder if we could apply a little bit more targeted patch:

diff --git a/drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_smbus.c b/drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_smbus.c
index 2407ea43de59..3901d06d38ca 100644
--- a/drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_smbus.c
+++ b/drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_smbus.c
@@ -335,6 +335,7 @@ static int rmi_smb_probe(struct i2c_client *client,
 		return error;
 	}
 
+	device_disable_async_suspend(&client->dev);
 	return 0;
 }
 

... and if that works then we cant try to establish proper dependencies
via device links later.

Hugh, could you please try this out and see if it helps?

Thanks!
