Now we have more than 99% machines work well with current i8042 code path, and less than 1% of machines (those MSI Wind & clones) that don't work unless being added to this list. If we do multiple-resetting unconditionally (for all machines), we are effectively: 1. fixing things that works well 2. make >99% machines (the good citizens) untested This seems a change too aggressive for me. Do we have a good reason for taking this risk? Of course if we found the "actual problem" we'd conjure up a better fix. But before that, I'd prefer the conservative way. -- Best regards, Li, Yan Moblin Team, Opensource Technology Center, SSG, Intel Office tel.: +86-10-82171695 (inet: 8-758-1695) OpenPGP key: 5C6C31EF IRC: yanli on network irc.freenode.net -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
