Description:

I wasn't sure whether to file this in ACPICA-Core, BIOS, or Config-Tables

I have an HP Probook X360 435 g7 with an "ELAN071B:00 04F3:312C Touchpad"
The touchpad usually works fine, but sometimes it stops working either during reboot or after wake from suspend. I thought the issue might be related to runtime power-management, but I set power/control to "on" with a udev rule for my touchpad, and it can still stop working after wake and boot. 
Additionally, my touchpad sometimes gets detected as a mouse, disabling features like scrolling and disable while typing.

Since restarting the i2c_hid_acpi module sometimes fixes the issue, I thought the issue might be related to i2c. I now think it's more likely to be an ACPI issue, though, because I get some ACPI errors during boot and because I also have a less frequent issue where my screen doesn't turn on after wake from suspend. 

While booting I always get this error (which does not break the touchpad):
ACPI BIOS ERROR (bug): Could not resolve symbol [\_SB.PCI0.BUSB.SAT1], AE_NOT_FOUND (20210730/dswload2-162)
ACOU Error: AE_NOT_FOUND, During name lookup/catalog (20210730,psobject-220)

That error doesn't seem to be directly causing any issues because everything still works fine. However, I sometimes get the below error during boot, causing my touchpad to fail:
hid(null): reading report descriptor failed
i2c_hid_acpi i2c-ELAN071B:00: can't add hid device: -5

I also get this error in dmesg which seems relevant because it mentions "SystemIO":
ACPI Warning: SystemIO range 0x0000000000000B00-0x0000000000000B08 conflicts with OpRegion 0x0000000000000B00-0x0000000000000B06 (\_SB.PCI0.SMBS.SMBO) (20210730/utaddress-204)

Expected behavior: 
Touchpad always works normally, after boot and wake from suspend

Actual behavior:
Touchpad randomly freezes after boot or wake from suspend and is sometimes detected as a mouse.

Steps to reproduce:
None, seems random, but will often persist for a few reboots after it starts happening
Comment 3 coronagraph 2022-01-15 04:23:52 UTC
Changed to config-tables because a lot of ELANTECH touchpad issues seem to cite bugs in the acpi tables, still not 100% sure what those do
Comment 4 coronagraph 2022-01-30 21:42:14 UTC
Apparently i2c_hid_acpi relies on pinctrl_amd, so that might be of importance too.

I also get this error:
i2c_hid_acpi i2c-ELAN071B:00: failed to set a report to device.

It happens periodically while the laptop is on and doesn't seem to stop the touchpad from working on its own.
