On Cherry Trail devices there are 2 possible ACPI OpRegions for
accessing GPIOs. The standard GeneralPurposeIo OpRegion and the Cherry
Trail specific UserDefined 0x9X OpRegions.
Having 2 different types of OpRegions leads to potential issues with
checks for OpRegion availability, or in other words checks if _REG has
been called for the OpRegion which the ACPI code wants to use.
The ACPICA core does not call _REG on an ACPI node which does not
define an OpRegion matching the type being registered; and the reference
design DSDT, from which most Cherry Trail DSDTs are derived, does not
define GeneralPurposeIo, nor UserDefined(0x93) OpRegions for the GPO2
(UID 3) device, because no pins were assigned ACPI controlled functions
in the reference design.
Together this leads to the perfect storm, at least on the Cherry Trail
based Medion Akayo E1239T. This design does use a GPO2 pin from its ACPI
code and has added the Cherry Trail specific UserDefined(0x93) opregion
to its GPO2 ACPI node to access this pin.
But it uses a has _REG been called availability check for the standard
GeneralPurposeIo OpRegion. This clearly is a bug in the DSDT, but this
does work under Windows. This issue leads to the intel_vbtn driver
reporting the device always being in tablet-mode at boot, even if it
is in laptop mode. Which in turn causes userspace to ignore touchpad
events. So iow this issues causes the touchpad to not work at boot.
Since the bug in the DSDT stems from the confusion of having 2 different
OpRegion types for accessing GPIOs on Cherry Trail devices, I believe
that this is best fixed inside the cherryview pinctrl driver.
This commit adds a workaround to the cherryview pinctrl driver so
that the DSDT's expectations of _REG always getting called for the
GeneralPurposeIo OpRegion are met.
