Recently there have been multiple patches to disable the ideapad-laptop's touchpad control code, because it is causing issues on various laptops: Commitd69cd7eea9("platform/x86: ideapad-laptop: Disable touchpad_switch for ELAN0634") Commita231224a60("platform/x86: ideapad-laptop: Disable touchpad_switch") The turning on/off of the ps2 aux port was added specifically for the IdeaPad Z570, where the EC does toggle the touchpad on/off LED and toggles the value returned by reading VPCCMD_R_TOUCHPAD, but it does not actually turn on/off the touchpad. The ideapad-laptop code really should not be messing with the i8042 controller on all devices just for this special case. Add a new ctrl_ps2_aux_port flag set based on a DMI based allow-list for devices which need this workaround, populating it with just the Ideapad Z570 for now. This also adds a module parameter so that this behavior can easily be enabled on other models which may need it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
