Same issue with my Aorus X3 Plus. Which is a Gigabyte brand laptop. Sometimes the trackpad will be detected, sometimes it wont.

The power plug workaround works for me.
1) Power off the laptop
2) Unplug my laptop for 60 seconds
3) Power on the laptop and boot into Linux
4) The trackpad should work
5) Once the Login Manager loads you can plug the power back in

As Srihari pointed out, shutting down or using the power button will disable the trackpad again, but doing a reboot does not.

I have not tried the kernel patch yet.
