[PATCH v2] HID: i2c-hid: add polling mode based on connected GPIO chip's pin status

From: Coiby Xu
Date: Fri Oct 16 2020 - 09:13:53 EST


For a broken touchpad, it may take several months or longer to be fixed.
Polling mode could be a fallback solution for enthusiastic Linux users
when they have a new laptop. It also acts like a debugging feature. If
polling mode works for a broken touchpad, we can almost be certain
the root cause is related to the interrupt or power setting.

When polling mode is enabled, an I2C device can't wake up the suspended
system since enable/disable_irq_wake is invalid for polling mode.

Three module parameters are added to i2c-hid,
- polling_mode: by default set to 0, i.e., polling is disabled
- polling_interval_idle_ms: the polling internal when the touchpad
is idle, default to 10ms
- polling_interval_active_us: the polling internal when the touchpad
is active, default to 4000us

User can change the last two runtime polling parameter by writing to
/sys/module/i2c_hid/parameters/polling_interval_{idle_ms,active_us}.
