It seems that the patch in 171 does not work (i.e. touchpad is still dead) on kernels older than 5.8. I tried 5.4.75, 5.7.19, and 5.8.18. I don't really want to look into this further since I'm fine with the newer kernel, but wanted to give you and any other users a heads up in case they find themselves in a similar situation. The kernels I was testing were taken straight from Ubuntu's mainline kernel page, and had only the following changes: CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD was made into a module, specified line in pinctrl-amd.c was commented out.

Thanks again for all of your help in making the linux experience with this class of laptop much more enjoyable!
