Thank you for this information. So it is not PnP discovery that appears
harmful in your case, but rather that legacy PS/2 mode appears to be
working better than RMI4 for the device in question.

I will note that the original enablement of RMI4 for T14 was done by
Hans in [1]. Later T14 with AMD were added to the list of devices that
should use RMI4 [2], however this was reverted in [3].

Could you please tell me what exact device you are dealing with? What's
it ACPI ID?
