Thanks for the instructions. So I added the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pci=nocrs" and updated grub. I rebooted the machine at least five times and the touchpad never worked - I had to use an external mouse. This is a bit different in a sense that this seems to be consistent whereas usually the touchpad completely randomly works every now and then.
I think I will keep the settings as they are just to see if the touchpad randomly starts to work again. I mean the position of the moon might have an effect on this ;-)
Let me know if I can be of any help in further testing.
Btw, my kernel was just updated to 5.8.0-55-generic.
