From c5928551fd41b2eecdad78fa2be2a4a13ed5fde9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2014 12:57:49 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Input: elan_i2c - check if device is there before really probing Before trying to properly initialize the touchpad and generate bunch of errors, let's first see it there is anything at the given address. If we get error, fail silently with -ENXIO.
