Hans de Goede 8169bd3e6e platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Switch to an allow-list for SW_TABLET_MODE reporting ... 2 recent commits: cfae58ed68 ("platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Only blacklist SW_TABLET_MODE on the 9 / "Laptop" chasis-type") 1fac39fd03 ("platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Also handle tablet-mode switch on "Detachable" and "Portable" chassis-types") Enabled reporting of SW_TABLET_MODE on more devices since the vbtn ACPI interface is used by the firmware on some of those devices to report this. Testing has shown that unconditionally enabling SW_TABLET_MODE reporting on all devices with a chassis type of 8 ("Portable") or 10 ("Notebook") which support the VGBS method is a very bad idea. Many of these devices are normal laptops (non 2-in-1) models with a VGBS which always returns 0, which we translate to SW_TABLET_MODE=1. This in turn causes userspace (libinput) to suppress events from the builtin keyboard and touchpad, making the laptop essentially unusable. Since the problem of wrongly reporting SW_TABLET_MODE=1 in combination with libinput, leads to a non-usable system. Where as OTOH many people will not even notice when SW_TABLET_MODE is not being reported, this commit changes intel_vbtn_has_switches() to use a DMI based allow-list. The new DMI based allow-list matches on the 31 ("Convertible") and 32 ("Detachable") chassis-types, as these clearly are 2-in-1s and so far if they support the intel-vbtn ACPI interface they all have properly working SW_TABLET_MODE reporting. Besides these 2 generic matches, it also contains model specific matches for 2-in-1 models which use a different chassis-type and which are known to have properly working SW_TABLET_MODE reporting. This has been tested on the following 2-in-1 devices: Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130 vPro HP Pavilion X2 10-p002nd HP Stream x360 Convertible PC 11 Medion E1239T Fixes: cfae58ed68 ("platform/x86: intel-vbtn: Only blacklist SW_TABLET_MODE on the 9 / "Laptop" chasis-type") BugLink: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/keyboard-and-touchpad-only-work-on-kernel-5-6/22668 BugLink: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1175599 Cc: Barnabás Pőcze <pobrn@protonmail.com> Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>		2020-10-02 17:54:44 +03:00
