The problem is that tracing can't be set via sysfs until the module is loaded, at which point the keyboard and trackpad initialization commands have already been run and hence tracing can't be used to debug problems here. Adding this param allows tracing to be enabled for messages sent and received during module probing. It takes comma-separated list of events, e.g. trace_event=applespi_tp_ini_cmd,applespi_bad_crc Signed-off-by: Ronald Tschalär <ronald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/input/keyboard/applespi.c | 32 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 32 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/input/keyboard/applespi.c b/drivers/input/keyboard/applespi.c index f0a0067c48ff6..03f9ad0f83967 100644 --- a/drivers/input/keyboard/applespi.c +++ b/drivers/input/keyboard/applespi.c @@ -53,6 +53,8 @@ #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/spinlock.h> #include <linux/spi/spi.h> +#include <linux/string.h> +#include <linux/trace_events.h> #include <linux/wait.h> #include <linux/workqueue.h> @@ -110,6 +112,10 @@ module_param_string(touchpad_dimensions, touchpad_dimensions, sizeof(touchpad_dimensions), 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(touchpad_dimensions, "The pixel dimensions of the touchpad, as XxY+W+H ."); +static char *trace_event; +module_param(trace_event, charp, 0444); +MODULE_PARM_DESC(trace_event, "Enable early event tracing.
