Hi everyone,
This series fixes the trackpad descriptions on some MediaTek-based
Chromebooks: either the trackpad's supply was set as always-on to
workaround missing delays in the driver, or the delay and supply
are missing from the trackpad's device node.
v1 was just the first patch [1]. It has since grown to cover multiple
drivers and devices.
Patch 1 adds the correct enable delay after enabling the supply regulator
for the Elan trackpad to initialize. Compared to v1, the delay is now
skipped if the regulator was already enabled to avoid impacting boot
time or time before the trackpad is operational.
Patch 2 applies the same logic of skipping the power on delay to the
i2c-hid-of driver.
Patch 3 applies the same logic of skipping the power on delay to the
i2c OF component prober library.
Patch 4 adds a delay between when the device node found is enabled and
when regulator_disable() is called. This gives an asynchronously probing
driver some time to increment the enable count of their regulator
reference, thus keeping the device operational and allowing the driver
to skip the initialization delay.
Patch 5 adds the correct delay for probing trackpads for Hana devices
to the ChromeOS OF component prober.
Patch 6 removes the "always-on" setting from the trackpad supply for
Elm / Hana and adds the correct delay to the second source trackpad.
This corrects the hardware description.
Patch 7 adds the supply and power on delay properties to the Synaptics
trackpad on the Spherion device. Combined with previous driver changes
this should cause no actual functional changes or delays.
Please take a look. There are no build time dependencies between any
of the patches, but the DT changes must go in after all the driver
changes land, especially the first one adding delays to the Elan
trackpad driver. Otherwise one could potentially end up with a
non-functional trackpad on the device.
Thanks
