The falling-edge solution was proposed by Elan themselves.

Also if you look at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1543769

And esp. the "cat /proc/interrupts" output there, then you will see
that the interrupt seems to be stuck at low level, which according
to the ACPI tables is its active level.

As for this being a GPIO chip driver problem, this is using standard
Intel pinctrl stuff, which is not showing this same issue with many
other i2c-hid touchpads.

Regards,

Hans
