Touchpad on Asus GL552VW not detected

(Please CC me on any replies, I'm not subscribed to the list)

Hi list,

The touchpad on an Asus GL552VW is not detected by Linux 4.2-4.4-rc8 (I have not tested earlier versions, but booting them on this hardware gets progressively more difficult and I doubt that the results would change).

Sadly I don't know what touchpad this machine contains, that information doesn't seem to be available. The touchpad did work on the pre-installed Windows image I wiped. Similar generation Asus machines seem to often have a Focaltech touchpad which has been supported by the kernel for some time.

Dmesg output when booting with i8042.debug set:
