enables proper t480s touchpad fw version recognition

Hi,
originally was reported in freebsd-drivers (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-drivers/2019-May/002183.html)
Further was suggested to submit a PR.


Recently I've replaced my t410 with t480s model.
Before ordering the device I found positive feedback in terms of FreeBSD 
compatibility (pages like https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops/Thinkpad_T480)

Apparently device is equipped with newer clickpad+trackpoint device 
which is not recognized by 12R properly:

FreeBSD beastie.intra 12.0-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p3 #2 
r347114M: Sun May 12 00:08:31 EEST 2019 
root at beastie.intra:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/BEASTIE-EVDEV  amd64

Attempts to enable hw.psm.synaptics_support or(and) 
hw.psm.elantech_support didn't help either. Though  trackpoint works 
just fine after enabling hw.psm.trackpoint_support

instead touchpad is recognized as generic PS/2 mouse (relevant strings 
from dmesg)

===
May 11 22:39:41 beastie kernel: atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
May 11 22:39:41 beastie kernel:   Unknown touchpad hardware (firmware 
v.0x7f3001)
May 11 22:39:41 beastie kernel: psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
May 11 22:39:41 beastie kernel: psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
May 11 22:39:41 beastie kernel: psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0
===

I was pretty much happy working with the device in general and with the 
tuouchpad in particular (as a simple mouse). Even got accustomed to the 
absence of double-finger scroll capability (which I could simulate via 
holding mid-button+swipe on touchpad) and triple-finger-tap as a 
midle-button-click). The only thing that I failed to workaround was 
accidental palm touches which is really painful and makes keyboard usage 
unbearable. Eventually I tried to seek for normal solution.

Lenovo site sujests for t480s devices "ELAN UltraNav Driver for Windows 
10 64-bit - ThinkPad T480s (Type 20L7, 20L8)" driver. Which made me 
think it is elantech (not synaptics). Looking through the psm sources 
quickly led me to the point where a very simple modification and 
recompilation of the kernel helped to recognize touchpad properly:
===
[silent at beastie][/usr/src]dmesg | egrep psm
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model Elantech Touchpad, device ID 0
===


Additionally I found relevant topic in openbsd lists 
http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/ThinkPad-T480s-Elantech-v4-clickpad-configuration-td342242.html. 
Eventually I narrow down it to the following changes: 
https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/8e9e9c10431cb45d93e2c0d81f668ff9575f8015#diff-ff06b79b08490ebbfa34b15aa4ebf370 



Also in the freebsd-drivers  Vladimir Kondratyev commented the following (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-drivers/2019-May/002189.html):
===
The patch looks good to me. Linux guys did exactly the same recently:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/10d900303f1c3a821eb0bef4e7b7ece16768fba4#diff-e91bc4802c6797fe9acbdca0ed240be9

PS:
Please note there are 3 issues described in the mentioned thread of mailing lists:
1) proper touchpad firmware recognition
2) trackpoint issue;
3) yet unknown error reported in Xorg log

this PR is dedicated to issue #1 only from the list above

Thank you!

dmesg buffer output

Hi Vladimir,

as it was requested in the corresponding mailing list thread I'm attaching dmesg buffer output after setting debug.psm.loglevel="5" and rebooting the system.

just a few notes that might be useful to you:

- as you requested I performed two trackpoint manipulations: up-left and down-right movements;

- to mark boundaries in the dmesg buffer I intentionally performed two tree-fingers-tap gestures. In the output they can be identified as "fingers=3" strings. I.e.:
[silent@beastie][/tmp]egrep -n fingers=3 debug.psm.level.five.dmesg
1852:synaptics: zmax=30, dx=14, dy=10, delta=14, fingers=3, queue=6
2037:synaptics: zmax=35, dx=0, dy=0, delta=0, fingers=3, queue=8

which basically means:
- lines (0,1852] can probably be just skipped as irrelevant
- up-left movement traces can be found among lines [1853,2037);
- down-right movement traces can be found in lines [2038,$];

hope it will be useful 

thanks!

dmesg after 6bdaa610

Hi Vladimir,

I've reverted the patch posted to mailing list, applied this one:

===
commit 6bdaa610f7c80ebbe858033d3dbf7b65396e1ca7
Author: Vladimir Kondratyev <vladimir@kondratyev.su>
Date:   Sun Jun 2 12:37:43 2019 +0300

    psm(4): Add extra sanity checks to Elantech trackpoint support
===

and rebuilt the kernel. 

As a result trackpoint issue is still observed but in a "mirrored" fashion :), i.e: now pointer can be moved by trackpoint along up-left/down-right directions however pointer can't be moved up-right/down-left (with previous patch it was vise versa: i.e. pointer could be moved up-right/down-left but not up-left/down-right)


I'm attaching dmesg output again with debug.psm.loglevel="5". Few comments:
===
[silent@beastie][/tmp]egrep -n 'fingers=3' dmesg.out
552:synaptics: zmax=34, dx=22, dy=12, delta=22, fingers=3, queue=6
748:synaptics: zmax=32, dx=3, dy=19, delta=19, fingers=3, queue=8
1010:synaptics: zmax=33, dx=9, dy=20, delta=20, fingers=3, queue=7
1250:synaptics: zmax=35, dx=9, dy=21, delta=21, fingers=3, queue=9
===

1) up-left movement: lines 553-747;
2) up-right movement: lines 749-1009;
3) down-right movement: lines 1011-1249;
4) down-left movement: lines 1251-eof;

hope it will help to tackle the issue.

Hopefully, it should fix trackpoint.
Comment 8 Andrey Kosachenko 2019-06-06 17:34:16 UTC
(In reply to Vladimir Kondratyev from comment #7)

Hi Vladimir,

I confirm that the last patch makes trackpoint work as expected

thank you!
