When this issue happens at resume the touchpad stops sending events
completely because the i8042 driver's resume() method fails and exits
early.

Right, the problem is that in this case the i8042's resume() method
is failing, which I believe causes the Elan ps/2 driver to not get
re-attached to the aux port on resume.

You're right I had forgotten about this. There is really no reason
why GNOME cannot also suppress events after a TOUCHPAD_OFF event,
but atm it indeed does not do this. We could fix this by patching:
plugins/media-keys/gsd-media-keys-manager.c of gnome-settings-daemon
to also update the TOUCHPAD_ENABLED_KEY setting when receiving
KEY_TOUCHPAD_ON/OFF. Something which I think we should do to,
but that will not help solve this bug since we cannot rely
on users having a fixed g-s-d.

So: self-NACK for this patch. (which is a bummer because I really
liked being able to just remove this)

Ack.

So how about this instead:

Maxmime, if you still have your Z570 can you check if the touchpad state after a suspend/resume
correctly reflects the state before suspend/resume in both touchpad on / off states ?

Jonathan, as the reporter of the original suspend/resume issue, can you check if
a kernel with this patch + ideapad-laptop re-enabled no longer has the suspend/resume
issue you were seeing ?

Hans
