Hi Andres,

on OLPC XO laptops, at least one model of touchpad (sentelic)
emits continuous jittery motion reports when the laptop is
configured in "ebook" mode.  the touchpad is inaccessible in
that configuration, so we simply disable it.

these motion reports will wake the SoC when put to sleep, so simply
ignoring the events is not a possibilty; the device must be disabled.
Can you switch the AUX serio port into manual bind mode (viqa sysfs) and
simply connect/disconnect the touchpad as needed (again via sysfs)?

Thanks.
