Package: linux-image-4.9.0-2-amd64
Version: 4.9.18-1

Touchpad and keyboard are not detected on Acer Chromebook 14 (and
similar Braswell books) with kernel 4.9 when booting from a live
stretch image. It successfully boots into Gnome session, but one needs
to plug external mouse and keyboard to do anything. Same issue can be
experienced on fedora after upgrading from kernel 4.8 (ok) to 4.9 (not
ok) or 4.10.

For stretch and 4.9, there is nothing about keyboard in kern log,
instead multiple failure messages are visible, like:

May 16 06:55:29 localhost kernel: [    0.403004] cherryview-pinctrl
INT33FF:01: Failed to translate GPIO to IRQ
May 16 06:55:29 localhost kernel: [    0.448395] ERROR: Unable to

May 16 06:55:29 localhost kernel: [   16.051446] elan_i2c: probe of
i2c-ELAN0000:00 failed with error -16

According to multiple sources, issue can be fixed by using
CONFIG_PINCTRL_CHERRYVIEW=y
