commit 5444a992b4a73aa5246a432c482b20b89bce93a5 upstream.
This reverts commit 48282969826b3d3c76e908182f69724d86d995fe which caused the following issues:
1. On T460p with BIOS version 2.22 touchpad and trackpoint stop working after suspend-resume cycle. Due to strange state of the device another suspend is impossible.
The following dmesg errors can be observed: thinkpad_acpi: EC reports that Thermal Table has changed rmi4_smbus 7-002c: failed to get SMBus version number! rmi4_physical rmi4-00: rmi_driver_reset_handler: Failed to read current IRQ mask. rmi4_f01 rmi4-00.fn01: Failed to restore normal operation: -16. rmi4_f01 rmi4-00.fn01: Resume failed with code -16. rmi4_physical rmi4-00: Failed to suspend functions: -16 rmi4_smbus 7-002c: Failed to resume device: -16 PM: resume devices took 0.640 seconds rmi4_f03 rmi4-00.fn03: rmi_f03_pt_write: Failed to write to F03 TX register (-16). rmi4_physical rmi4-00: rmi_driver_clear_irq_bits: Failed to change enabled interrupts! rmi4_physical rmi4-00: rmi_driver_set_irq_bits: Failed to change enabled interrupts! psmouse: probe of serio3 failed with error -1
2. On another T460p with BIOS version 2.15 two finger scrolling gesture on the touchpad stops working after suspend-resume cycle (about 75% reproducibility, when it still works, the scrolling gesture becomes laggy). Nothing suspicious appears in the dmesg.
Analysis form Richard Schütz:
"RMI is unreliable on the ThinkPad T460p because the device is affected by the firmware behavior addressed in a7ae81952cda ("i2c: i801: Allow ACPI SystemIO OpRegion to conflict with PCI BAR")."
The affected devices often show:
i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: BIOS is accessing SMBus registers i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.4: Driver SMBus register access inhibited
