Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release: 20.04

Touchpad ELAN or DesignWare (??) not working on laptop Fujitsu E5511
The built in touchpad does not work after start of Ubuntu.
current installation is new, first start, no updates yet, build in keyboard is working properly.

Workaround:
start terminal, manually invoke
sudo modprobe i2c-hid-acpi
makes touchpad work.

Expected behaviour:
Touchpad works without manual intervention.

Question:
Could you please investigate if a proper solution is possible or what to do?

Remark: login screen still works proper; this is NOT the case any more after very first reboot.
After very first reboot KEYBOARD and TOUCHPAD do not work any longer; login is not possible, no "mouse", no input by built in keyboard;

Remark (after first reboot):
Comparing the list of modules before/after invoking "sudo modprobe i2c-hid-acpi" I see this diff:

user@machine:~$ diff cat-proc-modules__withKeyBoard.txt cat-proc-modules__noKeyBoard.txt

> pinctrl_tigerlake 32768 0 - Live 0xffffffffc0022000

I can not understand or interpret this.

REMARK:
after invoking "sudo modprobe i2c-hid-acpi" dmesg says:

(NO, I did NOT attach external devices like mouse or so)
