Quanta reports that during ESD tests they can reliably wedge the touchpad
under Linux.
The possible root causes are beyond the scope of this bug report.
It appears that when the touchpad unit resets from ESD, it sends AA AA
instead of AA 00, the psmouse-base code handles the case of AA 00 by
triggering a serio reconnect for the port, causing a full reprobe of the
device.
Testing with OFW shows that this is likely to solve the problem, so the
attached patch simply expands the existing test to also catch AA AA.
More complicated and invasive solutions which allow a driver's byte
parsing function to trigger a similar reconnect could be written if this
works and upstream disapproves of the specific solution, but this should
do for ESD testing.
It is my understanding that we need to get Quanta something to use for ESD
testing ASAP.
