Sadly, you are also hit by:
[ 6.355378] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: BIOS is accessing SMBus registers
[ 6.355380] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: Driver SMBus register access inhibited
Which disables entirely the RMI4 over SMBus module. And then we can not
probe for it, meaning you are stuck with the PS/2 crappy mode.
We are aware of this bug and we'll try to fix that. I think the test you
provides are valid (the patch works as expected), but a different bug
prevents rmi-smbus to fully initialize the touchpad :(
Cheers,
Benjamin
