Thanks for the info. I’ll use this for the V2 patch.

One more question, does ETP_BUS_SMB_HST_NTFY_ONLY means it should stick to SMBus, because it doesn’t support PS/2?
I’d like to merge all checks into elantech_use_host_notify() but ETP_BUS_SMB_HST_NTFY_ONLY caught my attention.
ETP_BUS_SMB_HST_NTFY_ONLY is for our previous planning but it never happen so far, and it won't happen in the future.
There are two cases for our released touchpad and they are " ETP_BUS_PS2_ONLY" and " ETP_BUS_PS2_SMB_HST_NTFY".
Thanks
KT
