IMO this is not a good idea to do universally. Specifically:
1. There are many vendors of i2c-hid devices and many different
devices per vendor. Even if your device doesn't save power in "sleep"
mode, that doesn't mean it's not important for some other devices.
2. There are some boards where an i2c-hid device is powered by an
"always-on" regulator. On these devices it seems like a bad idea not
to be able to put the i2c-hid device into sleep mode.
I'd also note that I'm really not sure what ChromeOS dark resume has
to do with anything here. Dark resume is used for certain types of
events that wakeup the system where we can identify that the event
shouldn't turn the screen on, then we do some processing, then we go
back to sleep. I'm nearly certain that a trackpad / touchscreen wakeup
event would never qualify for "dark resume". If we see a
trackpad/touchscreen event then we'll wakeup the system. If the system
is in a state where trackpad/touchscreen events shouldn't wake us up
then we disable those wakeups before going to suspend...
It seems to me like the board you're testing on has some strange bug
and that bug should be fixed, or (in the worst case) you should send a
patch to detect this broken touchpad and disable wakeup for it.
