    Input: elants_i2c - do not bind to i2c-hid compatible ACPI instantiated devices · 65299e8b

    Several users have been reporting that elants_i2c gives several errors
    during probe and that their touchscreen does not work on their Lenovo AMD
    based laptops with a touchscreen with a ELAN0001 ACPI hardware-id:

    Despite these errors, the elants_i2c driver stays bound to the device
    (it returns 0 from its probe method despite the errors), blocking the
    i2c-hid driver from binding.
    
    Manually unbinding the elants_i2c driver and binding the i2c-hid driver
    makes the touchscreen work.
    
    Check if the ACPI-fwnode for the touchscreen contains one of the i2c-hid
    compatiblity-id strings and if it has the I2C-HID spec's DSM to get the
    HID descriptor address, If it has both then make elants_i2c not bind,
    so that the i2c-hid driver can bind.
    
    This assumes that non of the (older) elan touchscreens which actually
    need the elants_i2c driver falsely advertise an i2c-hid compatiblity-id
    + DSM in their ACPI-fwnodes. If some of them actually do have this
    false advertising, then this change may lead to regressions.
    
    While at it also drop the unnecessary DEVICE_NAME prefixing of the
    "I2C check functionality error", dev_err already outputs the driver-name.
