Ping...
This patch works fine for me since several weeks,
without it I would not be able to use my laptop any more.
Could you please accept this patch?
Thanks
Bernd.

And, furthermore, there is one thing I find really confusing,
I do not see the message v2 quoted below which had an updated commit message,
due to that Benjamin Tissoires request.
It was from my point of view sent on 2/27/20 11:03 PM,
but I cannot find it neither on spinics, nor on marc.info.
That is funny.
Did it reach you guys at all?
Or should I re-send it just in case?
Thanks
Bernd.

Are you there?
Should I re-post the v2 patch, was that dropped somehow?
If I don't hear anything I'll assume I just repost, probably
as unchanged v3, right?
Thanks,
Bernd.

I do not think we ever got confirmation from Dave or Jingle; from my POV
I really dislike arbitrary mangling of the data.
I think you are right that the issue is with order of calls, and we need
to switch the touchpad into absolute mode to get valid results from the
ID query call. Dave, Jingle, any impot here?
Benjamin, Kai-Feng, do you know if we try to switch to absolute mode
to begin with, will it cause issues with SMBus mode?
Thanks.

Hi Dmitry, Bernd:
We have checked the related function internal.
It is right to switch the touchpad into absolute mode first to get valid
results from the ID query call in hardware version 2 and 3.
Thanks

Hi Jingle,
apologies for not responding earlier, but better late than never...
Okay, if I understood your advice correctly, you want me to
elantech_set_absolute_mode from elantech_query_info
for hardware version 2 and 3, before sending the ETP_FW_ID_QUERY
command, while hardware version 4 devices will not need that.
Initially when I wrote this patch I was concerned that there might
be a way how the firmware might be in a different state after doing
this when elantech_setup_smbus is called later.
But meanwhile I convinced myself that this can never happen, since
the elantech_setup_smbus seems to be unreachable for version < 4
devices.
I'll send a new version of the patch later today, if everything works
as expected.
Thanks,
Bernd.
