Before commit b33752c30023 ("HID: i2c-hid: Reorganize so ACPI and OF are
separate modules"), the unified i2c-hid driver handled both PNP0C50 ACPI
devices and hid-over-i2c OF devices. After the split, devices with _HID
"PRP0001" and _DSD compatible "hid-over-i2c" are only probed by
i2c_hid_of, which requires "hid-descr-addr" in the _DSD. Some devices,
for example the Lenovo KaiTian N60d and Inspur CP300L3, provide the HID
descriptor address only through the _DSM method. Fall back to the _DSM
call when the property is absent.

Thank you for the new patch, this is an interesting approach and better
then the modalias magic from the previous version.
Note I'm not the i2c-hid maintainer, with that said I think this should
be acceptable. But currently it duplicates the _DSM handling code and
that should be fixed.
I think this should be changed to a series of 3 patches:
1. Move the i2c_hid_acpi_blacklist handling out of
i2c_hid_acpi_get_descriptor() into i2c_hid_acpi_probe()
to above the devm_kzalloc() call.
2. Move i2c_hid_acpi_get_descriptor() to a generic
int i2c_hid_acpi_get_descriptor(struct device *dev)
helper in drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid-core.c .
Wrapped in #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI and with a static inline
stub in drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.h when CONFIG_ACPI
is not set, e.g. in drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.h add:
#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
int i2c_hid_acpi_get_descriptor_address(struct device *dev);
#else
static inline int i2c_hid_acpi_get_descriptor_address(struct device *dev)
{
return -ENODEV;
}
#endif
3. Modify i2c-hid-of.c to try i2c_hid_acpi_get_descriptor_address() as
fallback for the missing "hid-descr-addr" property. Please also add
a comment in the code explaining that this fallback is about ACPI I2C-hid
devices which use a "PRP0001" ACPI _HID with an "hid-over-i2c" compatible.
Regards,
Hans

I think we should also stick a big fat warning if _DSM succeeds in that
code branch: hopefully manufacturers will notice and fix the firmware on
new devices.
Thanks.

Before commit b33752c30023 ("HID: i2c-hid: Reorganize so ACPI and OF are
separate modules"), the unified i2c-hid driver handled both PNP0C50 ACPI
devices and hid-over-i2c OF devices. After the split, devices with _HID
"PRP0001" and _DSD compatible "hid-over-i2c" are only probed by
i2c_hid_of, which requires "hid-descr-addr" in the _DSD. Some devices,
for example the Lenovo KaiTian N60d and Inspur CP300L3, provide the HID
descriptor address only through the _DSM method and thus fail to probe.
Patch 1 moves the blacklist check so the function can return early
without wasting an allocation.
Patch 2 moves the _DSM call that gets the HID descriptor address from
i2c-hid-acpi.c to a shared helper in i2c-hid-core.c so both
i2c-hid-acpi.c and i2c-hid-of.c can use it.
Patch 3 calls the common helper as a fallback when "hid-descr-addr" is
missing, and sets safe post-power-on and post-reset-deassert delays.
