(Update) Synaptics: Users' reports about PS/2 -> smbus migration

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



(Posted for the record, not intended to be read.)

This updates my previous post on 2018-06-06. I've added 4 patch links and 3 success reports.

Here is a list of users' reports about PS/2 -> smbus migration of synaptics. If a patch to support them is presented, it has to be tested by users. (Thus it will be a "v0" one. Still a long way to go. :p)

I group the reports roughly into 3: (a) devices that can use smbus without troubles, (b) devices with some failure, and (c) submitted but not yet commited patches. 

In the following, users' posts to linux-input@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx from Jun 2017 to Nov 2018 are collected. The list is almost exhaustive, if not complete, I believe.

(b) Failure reports
  Major failures are : (a) resume/suspend (b) Kernel stack traces - seemingly unrelated modules of drm or videodev. One is about irq.

    Not sure if it's related to rmi4; The dmesg says it's drm.
