[PATCH] Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for Xiaomi Redmi Book Pro 16 2026

From: Alexei Turtanov <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-28 11:22:52
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: input (keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen) drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Dmitry Torokhov, Linus Torvalds

The internal keyboard of the Xiaomi Redmi Book Pro 16 2026 (board TM2425)
does not work: atkbd_probe() succeeds and every command is ACKed, but no
scancodes ever arrive afterwards.

Testing on the hardware through serio_raw shows that ATKBD_CMD_RESET_DIS
(0xF5) is the culprit. After 0xF5 the embedded controller keeps ACKing
commands but stops delivering scancodes, and neither ATKBD_CMD_ENABLE
(0xF4) nor ATKBD_CMD_RESET_BAT (0xFF) bring them back. Only re-enabling
the keyboard interface at the controller level (i8042 command 0xAE, or
rewriting the command byte as i8042_port_close() does) revives it.
Running the init sequence without 0xF5 (0xED 0x00, 0xF3 0x00, 0xF4)
keeps the keyboard working.

'i8042.dumbkbd=1' also works around this, but then the driver never
writes to the keyboard and the LEDs cannot be controlled. Use the
existing atkbd_deactivate_fixup quirk instead, as done for the sibling
TM2424 by commit 3a046db33bb9 ("Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for
Xiaomi Book Pro 14's internal keyboard"). Tested on v7.2: keyboard,
Caps Lock LED and s2idle suspend/resume all work.

DMI: XIAOMI REDMI Book Pro 16 2026/TM2425, BIOS RMAPT6B0P0909 05/22/2026

Fixes: 9cf6e24c9fbf ("Input: atkbd - do not skip atkbd_deactivate() when skipping ATKBD_CMD_GETID")

Notes:
    The DMI match is deliberately limited to the model I could test. The 14"
    Redmi Book Pro 2026 most likely has the same EC and needs the same
    quirk, but I have no unit to confirm it on.
