Some newer Intel Skylake based Dell laptops with Win8 precision touchpad fail when initial feature reports are fetched from it. Below is an example output with some additional debug included: i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: Fetching the HID descriptor i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: __i2c_hid_command: cmd=20 00 i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: HID Descriptor: 1e 00 00 01 99 02 21 00 24 ... ... i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: i2c_hid_get_report i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: __i2c_hid_command: cmd=22 00 38 02 23 00 i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: report (len=4): 04 00 08 05 i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: report id 13 i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: i2c_hid_get_report i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: __i2c_hid_command: cmd=22 00 3d 02 23 00 i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: failed to retrieve report from device. i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: report id 7 i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: i2c_hid_get_report i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: __i2c_hid_command: cmd=22 00 37 02 23 00 i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: report (len=259): 03 01 07 fc 28 fe 84 40 ... i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: report id 4 i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: i2c_hid_get_report i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: __i2c_hid_command: cmd=22 00 34 02 23 00 We manage to fetch few reports but then the touchpad dies: i2c_designware i2c_designware.1: i2c_dw_handle_tx_abort: lost arbitration i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: failed to retrieve report from device. it eventually pulls the whole I2C bus low: i2c_designware i2c_designware.1: controller timed out i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: failed to set a report to device. Fix this by preventing initial feature report fetch for Win8 devices. It should not be needed anyway according to [1] because the two "GET" feature reports for these devices are about device capabilities and Win8 certification status which are not related to input events.
