It was KT who told me that I should use ETP_BUS_PS2_SMB_HST_NTFY.
As for date, KT still knows better than me.
KT,
Can you name a year which is safe enough to enable SMBus?
I have discussed it internally.
The internal rule for FW's SMbus implementation is stable after 2018
If you meet some special case, please let me know.
BTW, The SMbus supporting is requested by HP this time, and there are plenty
of HP laptop use old IC
which doesn't meet " ETP_NEW_IC_SMBUS_HOST_NOTIFY".
Elan touchpad works well in PS/2 for HP, because it don't support
TrackPoint.
You may let old HP platform work as PS/2 for safety.
Thanks
KT
