Re: [BISECTED] tpm CLKRUN breaks PS/2 keyboard and touchpad on Braswell system

OK, I built a kernel 4.14.5 from vanilla kernel.org sources using the Fedora .config (couldn't get the Fedora package to build).

I see no difference with both [0, 1] patches applied and the tpm modules loaded -- no keyboard or touchpad.

[Note: I'm not *consciously* using the TPM for anything, but /dev/tpm0 is present and have never initialised it. I don't know if anything in Fedora uses it by default if present.]

Regards,
James.
