Regression: Dell XPS 13 9360 keyboard no longer works

Regression: Dell XPS 13 9360 keyboard no longer works

[Jeremy Cline]

Hey folks,

Commit 30323fb6d552c41997baca5292bf7001366cab57 (Support tablet mode
switch) causes the keyboard on my XPS 13 to stop working. This
particular model has a touch screen (which I've disabled in the BIOS),
but isn't a 2-in-1 with a tablet mode. My guess is it's being put in
tablet mode and that's disabling the keyboard? In any case, I'm happy
to test fixes and provide any necessary information.

Regards,
Jeremy

30323fb6d552c41997baca5292bf7001366cab57 initializes the switch to the correct 
state, in theory, it seems VGBS() is returning the wrong thing? could it 
report it has the switch and in a closed state even if it doesn't have it?
 also seems device specific, on my inspiron6352 if i go in teblet mode the 
keyboard keeps working until i fold it completely (which i don't know/don't 
think is something detectable at all from the software side)

can you test with the command evtest (if an external keyboard works, or via 
ssh)?, then looking at the state of the intel virtual button driver it should 
show you the current state of the switch

Hi,

Here's the evtest output for the virtual button driver:

Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x19 vendor 0x0 product 0x0 version 0x0
Input device name: "Intel Virtual Button driver"
Supported events:

Indeed, it's thinking a switch exists and that is on, which is wrong,
then i guess VGBS() reports a wrong status..
Mario, do you have any ideas about that?

I guess that means we got this wrong and the patch should be reverted
until we figure this out.

Jeremy,

Can you please confirm what BIOS version you are on?
Also Is this a 9360 with 7th or 8th gen Intel CPU?

I'll see if I can find out anything more relative to this.

Hi Mario,

I've got BIOS version 2.5.0 with the 7th gen Intel CPU.

Jeremy,

Thanks.  Do you have any of the Dell docks (TB16/WD15)?  If so are you connected to any dock 
when reproducing this problem?

Thanks,

Mario,

I do have a TB16. I can reproduce this whether or not I'm connected to
the dock, though.

Jeremy,

Can you try booting up from a cold boot with it connected to see if it still happens?

Mario,

Yup, it still happens from a cold boot when connected to the dock.

OK thanks for confirming.  Here's what I've concluded:

* So looking through the ACPI tables on the 9360 it initializes that status
(slate vs laptop mode) bit to "slate" mode.  The 9360 isn't a 2-in1- so that
seems wrong to me, but that's what it does.
It only gets updated based on dock status.

The 9365 (which is a 2 in 1) however seems to initialize the status properly.

So that's an impasse of what to do.
It's not clear to me what is really happening:
a) We're missing something else in this driver (eg something else that 
indicates whether to trust VGBS output)

b) Mis-interpreting the results from it (we shouldn't report the switch for 
tablet mode based on what we do)

c) 9360 has a BIOS bug (seems unlikely since Windows doesn't freak out and
show virtual keyboard at wrong time)

I'm leaning on it's probably <a>.
We should check for tablet mode should only be run if chassis type 
matches 2-in-1 (chassis type 0x1F).  

I believe that should fix the problem on the 9360, let it continue to work on
the 9365 (and other 2-in-1's).

Can you guys please test this?  If that works I'll split up the routine and submit
it.
