Shouldn't it be the other way around: `if (priv->has_touchpad_switch)`?
It is to prevent accidentally disable touchpad on machines that do have EC switch,
so it's intentional.

Sorry, but the explanation not fully clear to me. The commit message seems to
indicate that some models "do not use EC to switch touchpad", and I take that
means that reading from VPCCMD_R_TOUCHPAD will not reflect the actual state of the
touchpad and writing to VPCCMD_W_TOUCHPAD will not change the state of the touchpad.

I'm just trying to prevent removing functionality on machines that touchpad can be controlled by EC but also equipped I2C HID touchpad. At least users will have a functional touchpad
after that.


But then why do you still write to VPCCMD_W_TOUCHPAD on devices where supposedly
this does not have any effect (at least not the desired one)? And the part of the
code I made my comment about only runs on machines on which the touchpad supposedly
cannot be controlled by the EC. What am I missing?

And there is the other problem: on some machines, this patch removes working
functionality.
Yeah that's a problem. I just don't want to repeat the story of rfkill whitelist, it ends up with
countless machine to be added.

Maybe I should specify HID of touchpad as well. Two machines that known to be problematic
all have ELAN0634 touchpad.

Thanks.
