Input: atkbd - skip ATKBD_CMD_GETID in translated mode
There have been multiple reports of keyboard issues on recent laptop models which can be worked around by setting i8042.dumbkbd, with the downside being this breaks the capslock LED. It seems that these issues are caused by recent laptops getting confused by ATKBD_CMD_GETID. Rather then adding and endless growing list of quirks for this, just skip ATKBD_CMD_GETID alltogether on laptops in translated mode. The main goal of sending ATKBD_CMD_GETID is to skip binding to ps/2 mice/touchpads and those are never used in translated mode. Examples of laptop models which benefit from skipping ATKBD_CMD_GETID: * "HP Laptop 15s-fq2xxx", "HP laptop 15s-fq4xxx" and "HP Laptop 15-dy2xxx" models the kbd stops working for the first 2 - 5 minutes after boot (waiting for EC watchdog reset?) * On "HP Spectre x360 13-aw2xxx" atkbd fails to probe the keyboard * At least 9 different Lenovo models have issues with ATKBD_CMD_GETID, see: https://github.com/yescallop/atkbd-nogetid This has been tested on: 1. A MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI desktop, where the i8042 controller is not in translated mode when no keyboard is plugged in and with a ps/2 kbd a "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" /dev/input/event# node shows up 2. A Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga gen 8 (always has a translated set 2 keyboard) Reported-by: Shang Ye <yesh25@mail2.sysu.edu.cn> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/886D6167733841AE+20231017135318.11142-1-yesh25@mail2.sysu.edu.cn/ Closes: https://github.com/yescallop/atkbd-nogetid Reported-by: gurevitch <mail@gurevit.ch> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/2iAJTwqZV6lQs26cTb38RNYqxvsink6SRmrZ5h0cBUSuf9NT0tZTsf9fEAbbto2maavHJEOP8GA1evlKa6xjKOsaskDhtJWxjcnrgPigzVo=@gurevit.ch/ Reported-by: Egor Ignatov <egori@altlinux.org> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210609073333.8425-1-egori@altlinux.org/ Reported-by: Anton Zhilyaev <anton@cpp.in> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-input/20210201160336.16008-1-anton@cpp.in/ Closes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2086156 Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231115174625.7462-1-hdegoede@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>
