Ok this looks like a platform-device is being instantiated for the
touchpad
rather then an i2c_client.

Can you do:

ls -l /sys/bus/platform/devices | grep ELAN066C

and let me know the output of that ?

If that confirms that a platform device is being instantiated
then the issue likely is that neither of the 2 if-s here:
...
Returns true causing no i2c-client to get instantiated.


If that is the case the first thing to do is try a DSDT overlay
replacing the
first if:

        If ((^^^PCI0.LPC0.H_EC.ECRD (RefOf (^^^PCI0.LPC0.H_EC.TPTY))
== 0x01))
        {
                ...
        }

With dropping the If so you get:

        {
                ...
        }

See:
https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/acpi/initrd_table_override.html

And then specifically the "How does it work" section.
Hans,

Thank you so much!  Adding a DSDT overlay worked perfectly!  The
touchpad is functioning exactly as you would expect (using the
i2c_hid_acpi driver).

Is there some way we can get a fix in the kernel for this buggy ACPI table or should I be asking Lenovo for a fix?

Thanks again,

Jonathan
