From: Stefan Assmann <sassmann@xxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 66bc2f51ef7deabc8b8f3baa98ae64b65e5e973a upstream. There are trackpoint devices that fail to respond to the PS2 command PSMOUSE_CMD_GETID if immediately queried after the parent device is deactivated. Add a small delay for the hardware to get in a sane state before sending any PS2 commands. One example of such a system is: Lenovo ThinkPad X120e, model 30515QG synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 8.0, id: 0x1e2b1, caps: 0xd001a3/0x940300/0x121c00, board id: 1811, fw id: 797391 Signed-off-by: Stefan Assmann <sassmann@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Oliver Neukum <ONeukum@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c b/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c index cff065f6261c..de3d92077c77 100644 --- a/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c +++ b/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c @@ -1441,6 +1441,10 @@ static int psmouse_connect(struct serio *serio, struct serio_driver *drv) if (error) goto err_clear_drvdata; + /* give PT device some time to settle down before probing */ + if (serio->id.type == SERIO_PS_PSTHRU) + usleep_range(10000, 15000); + if (psmouse_probe(psmouse) < 0) { error = -ENODEV; goto err_close_serio; -- 2.6.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
