PATCH 1/1 Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for Xiaomi Redmi Book Pro 16 2026
The internal keyboard of the Xiaomi Redmi Book Pro 16 2026 (board TM2425) does not work: atkbd_probe() succeeds and every command is ACKed, but no scancodes ever arrive afterwards.
Testing on the hardware through serio_raw shows that ATKBD_CMD_RESET_DIS (0xF5) is the culprit. After 0xF5 the embedded controller keeps ACKing commands but stops delivering scancodes, and neither ATKBD_CMD_ENABLE (0xF4) nor ATKBD_CMD_RESET_BAT (0xFF) bring them back. Only re-enabling the keyboard interface at the controller level (i8042 command 0xAE, or rewriting the command byte as i8042_port_close() does) revives it. Running the init sequence without 0xF5 (0xED 0x00, 0xF3 0x00, 0xF4) keeps the keyboard working.
'i8042.dumbkbd=1' also works around this, but then the driver never writes to the keyboard and the LEDs cannot be controlled. Use the existing atkbd_deactivate_fixup quirk instead, as done for the sibling TM2424 by commit 3a046db33bb9 ("Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for Xiaomi Book Pro 14's internal keyboard"). Tested on v7.2: keyboard, Caps Lock LED and s2idle suspend/resume all work.

Notes:
The DMI match is deliberately limited to the model I could test. The 14" Redmi Book Pro 2026 most likely has the same EC and needs the same quirk, but I have no unit to confirm it on.
