On suspend/resume cycle, selftest is executed to reset i8042 controller.
But when this is done in Asus devices, subsequent calls to detect/init
functions to elantech driver fails. Skipping selftest fixes this problem.
An easier step to reproduce this problem is adding i8042.reset=1 as a
kernel parameter. On Asus laptops, it'll make the system to start with the
touchpad already stuck, since psmouse_probe forcibly calls the selftest
function.
This patch was inspired by John Hiesey's change[1], but, since this problem
affects a lot of models of Asus, let's avoid running selftests on them.
All models affected by this problem:
A455LD
K401LB
K501LB
K501LX
R409L
V502LX
X302LA
X450LCP
X450LD
X455LAB
X455LDB
X455LF
Z450LA

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
