Yep

Yep too. The I2C-hid touchpads from Synaptics do not have the SMBus
wired at all, so we can't enable SMBus for them. Also, the fact that
the device gets loaded over i2c-hid means that we can't know that it
is the case from the psmouse/synaptics point of view.

First time I see it.

I just tried on a XPS 9360 and kernel v4.18 (fedora) and nothing was a problem.
I then tried on a XPS 9575 with v4.19, and here, the wacom I2C node is
also keeping firing the interrupts, but not the touchpad. However,
here, the interrupts are not stopping when I touch the touchscreen or
if I approach a pen.

Kim, rmmod-ing i2c-hid and modprobing back it with the parameter
debug=1 doesn't show any events processed when the interrupts are
firing. Do you see the same?

Cheers,
Benjamin
