my laptop uses a touchpad that needs hid-rmi along with i2c-hid to work.
i2c-hid and hid-rmi can be loaded and unloaded independelty from each

if I unload hid-rmi and after it I also unload i2c-hid, I get a NULL
pointer dereference.
I'll look into this.
I can reproduce this easily with i2c-hid + hid-multitouch following your
directions.
Can you try the below patch?
I think we shouldn't free buffers yet in ->stop() because we need the
command buffer sending power commands to the device. Also it seems that
->start() re-allocates buffers anyway if maximum size increases.
It shouldn't even leak memory as we release buffers at ->remove()
anyway.

Yes, it works, thanks.
This change seems to also prevent kernel ooops when I unload either
i2c-hid or i2c-designware-platform while the touchpad is in use,
thing that is likely to happen because of the other bug I reported.
Speaking of it, does any of you have any suggestion on how to debug it?
I was able to reproduce the initial issue by unloading hid-rmi and
i2c-hid while holding my fingers on the touchpad. Mika's patch fixes it
for me.
For the original bug, you can modprobe i2c-hid debug=1 and we can see
what data the touchpad is reporting. That might help narrowing down if
it's noise which the touchpad thinks are fingers or if there is a
problem with the I2C lines causing spurious interrupts.
