The ELAN 04F3:3185 touchpad exposed as DELL0A86 on the Dell Inspiron
13 5310 intermittently exhibits excessive smoothing when the I2C bus
runs at 400 kHz. During an affected period pointer movement becomes
severely sluggish and sticky for tens of seconds.
The ACPI firmware configures the touchpad bus for 400 kHz. Add DELL0A86
to i2c_acpi_force_100khz_device_ids so that the bus runs at 100 kHz, as
is already done for other touchpads exhibiting the same excessive
smoothing problem.
With the quirk applied, the kernel reports that the firmware requested
400 kHz and that the bus is forced to 100 kHz. The problem did not recur
during extended heavy use, including an S4 hibernate/resume cycle.

Just for the confirmation (no need to include in the commit message) can
you share the DSDT excerpt of the device in question?

At some point this should be switched to C99 initialisers and dropped unused
driver_data.

Hi Andy,
Sure. The relevant DSDT excerpt is below.
Scope (_SB.PC00.I2C1)
{
...
Device (TPD0)
{
Name (SBFB, ResourceTemplate ()
{
I2cSerialBusV2 (0x002C, ControllerInitiated, 0x00061A80,
AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.PC00.I2C1",
0x00, ResourceConsumer, _Y55, Exclusive,
)
})
CreateWordField (SBFB, \_SB.PC00.I2C1.TPD0._Y55._ADR, BADR)
CreateDWordField (SBFB, \_SB.PC00.I2C1.TPD0._Y55._SPE, SPED)
Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)
{
...
HID2 = TPDH
BADR = TPDB
If ((TPDS == Zero))
{
SPED = 0x000186A0
}
If ((TPDS == One))
{
SPED = 0x00061A80
}
If ((TPDS == 0x02))
{
SPED = 0x000F4240
}
}
Name (ITPN, "DELL0A86")
Method (_HID, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (ITPN)
}
...
Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
{
...
If ((TPDM == Zero))
{
Return (ConcatenateResTemplate (I2CM (I2CX, BADR, SPED), SBFG))
}
Return (ConcatenateResTemplate (I2CM (I2CX, BADR, SPED), SBFI))
}
}
}
The speed values are 100 kHz, 400 kHz and 1 MHz respectively. On this
machine Linux receives 400 kHz from ACPI, which is also confirmed by the
kernel log when the quirk is applied:
DSDT uses known not-working I2C bus speed 400000, forcing it to 100000
And for now my PC touchpad has continued to work normally since applying the quirk, and the issue has still not recurred. :)
Thanks,
YuXin

The ELAN 04F3:3185 touchpad exposed as DELL0A86 on the Dell Inspiron
13 5310 intermittently exhibits excessive smoothing when the I2C bus
runs at 400 kHz. During an affected period pointer movement becomes
severely sluggish and sticky for tens of seconds.
The ACPI firmware configures the touchpad bus for 400 kHz. Add DELL0A86
to i2c_acpi_force_100khz_device_ids so that the bus runs at 100 kHz, as
is already done for other touchpads exhibiting the same excessive
smoothing problem.
With the quirk applied, the kernel reports that the firmware requested

An independent 2021 report from another Dell Inspiron 13 5310 user
describes the same intermittent sticky behavior and identifies the same
