Hello,

I tried your patch and it does not fix the problem. I still need to add
i8042.noloop=1 to the kernel command line to be able to reenable the
touchpad. Also at this laptop touchpad is detected correctly, it only
stops working after disabling and reenabling (also once or twice it
stopped working even without pressing the disable button, this can be
related).
