Bug Description
Some newly released laptops talked to touchpad via I2C to provide advanced functions. The new Intel Skylake platform will use Sunrisepoint PCH, thus the I2C part needs to be enabled in order to have these touchpad supported.
Intel is still working on the driver, so far there are six versions:
v1: https:/
v2: https:/
v3: https:/
v4: https:/
v5: https:/
v6: https:/
The mfd driver would support SPI, UART, and I2C on the PCH, but we'd focus on the I2C part of it. Since it's not yet in the mainline at this point, it won't make it to 4.2. We'll need to backport this driver to vivid and wily.
