Subject: [Bug 203297] Synaptics touchpad TM-3127 functionality broken by PCI runtime power management patch on 4.20.2

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203297

Regression, suspected but as yet unconfirmed cause:

c5eb1190074c ("PCI / PM: Allow runtime PM without callback functions")

backported to 4.20 stable as 39e1be324c2f.

With help of Keijo it was confirmed above patch broke the Synaptics
touchpad. Not bisected but touchpad works again by forcing the i2c-i801
SMBus controller always on:
"echo on >/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:1f.3/power/control"

Above patch is a generalized fix that fixed the runtime PM regression on
i2c-i801 and re-allow the controller go to runtime suspend when idle. So
most probably Synaptics touchpad was broken by i2c-i801 runtime PM also
before but got unnoticed. Which is easy since on many platforms SMBus
controller doesn't necessarily have the PCI PM capabilities.

I would like to ask help from input subsystem experts what kind of SMBus
power state dependency Synaptics RMI4 SMBus devices have since it cease
to work if SMBus controllers idles between transfers and how this is
best to fix?

Instead of revert I think we'd need to have some method to force SMBus
controller on whenever the touchpad is active, like when there is a
userspace listening.

I'm not expert in this area so as quick proof of concept I had a
following hack which forces the I2C/SMBus adapter, and eventually the
parent PCI device of it on when the RMI4 SMBus device is probed and let
the SMBus controller to idle when removed.

According to Keijo it fixes the issue but I like to hear input experts
for better place to put these.

That should be pm_runtime_get_sync() IMO.

Otherwise, the rmi_register_transport_device() may be called before
completing the PM transition.

Hmm, I am not sure there is such an existing architecture you could
use in a simple patch.

rmi-driver.c does indeed create an input device we could use to toggle
on/off the PM state, but those callbacks are not wired to the
transport driver (rmi_smbus.c), so it would required a little bit of
extra work. And then, there are other RMI4 functions (firmware
upgrade) that would not be happy if PM is in suspend while there is no
open input node.

So I think this "hack" (with Mika's comments addressed) should go in
until someone starts propagating the PM states correctly.

Cheers,
Benjamin

I see.

I got another thought about this. I noticed these input drivers need
SMBus Host Notify, maybe that explain the PM dependency? If that's the
only dependency then we could prevent the controller suspend if there is
a client needing host notify mechanism. IMHO that's less hack than the
patch to rmi_smbus.c.

Keijo: care to test does this idea would fix the issue (without the
previous patch)? I also attached the diff.

I guess you mean the Rafael's pm_runtime_get_sync() comment?

So currently, AFAIK, only Synaptics (rmi4) and Elantech are using
SMBus Host Notify.
So this patch would prevent the same bugs for those 2 vendors, which is good.

It took me some time to understand why this would be less than a hack.
And indeed, given that Host Notify relies on the I2C connection to be
ready for the IRQ, we can not put the controller in suspend like we do
for others where the IRQ controller is still ready.

So yes, that could work from me. Not sure what Wolfram and Jean would
say though.

Oops, yes, that one, sorry :)

I would say OK with me, this looks like the cleanest solution to me, so
if testing is positive, let's go with it.
