Hi,

we've received a few regression reports for openSUSE Leap about the
missing touchpad on Macbooks. After debugging, this turned out to be
the backport of the commit 2b9c3eb32a699acdd4784d6b93743271b4970899
Input: bcm5974 - check endpoint type before starting traffic

And, the same regression was confirmed on the upstream 6.8-rc6
kernel.

Reverting the commit above fixes the problem, the touchpad reappears.

The detailed hardware info is found at:

Feel free to join the bugzilla above, or let me know if you need
something for debugging, then I'll delegate on the bugzilla.


thanks,

Takashi
