[Bug 1515503] [NEW] Need support for some buggy Synaptics RMI4 device

 

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

Some RMI4 touchpad doesn't work properly even the probing returns no
error. Further investigation shows the interrupt doesn't increase at
all. There's already a public bug and the patch is already upstreamed:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91102

There's a fix contains in v4.3-rc1 and has already been tested:

    HID: rmi: Set F01 interrupt enable register when not set

Note:
  So far the platform we encounter with this issue use GPIO interrupt, so it also needs 3.19.0-32 or Wily kernel to work too.

[Test]

1. Boot with v4.3-rc1 -> pass
2. Boot with patched Vivid kernel -> pass
3. Boot with patched Wily kernel -> pass
