Bug Description
SRU justification
============
[Impact]
Many modern notebooks need i2c-i801 kernel module to function, but it is blacklisted by /etc/modprobe/
[Test case]
1. Install Ubuntu
2. Check touchpad works or not
3. Install the fixed kmod package
4. Confirm touchpad works
[Regression Potential]
i2c-i801 was blacklisted due to bug 16602. The user complains an HP Compaq nc6000 notebook cannot suspend without blacklisting i2c-i801. While this is a way to workaround the suspend issue, the proper fix should be in linux kernel. Since nc6000 was a machine sold in 2004, it is too difficult to find someone to verify if it will regress due to this SRU. The rationale to blacklist it is: https:/
Besides, there look like to be a quirk in linux kernel that fixes it:

-------
Original bug report:
We have a Lenovo Thinkpad machine that requires i2c-i801 kernel module to work, but it is listed in /etc/modprobe/
i2c-i801 in blacklist.conf is a very old workaround to fix HP compaq nc6000
(Bug #16602), this module should be removed from blacklist.
There is also another bug (Bug #1475945) that needs this module for Acer trackpad to work.
