Hi @pjf, Our verification process is done by installing the Ubuntu kernel which is currently in the -proposed pocket and verifying whether the fix works as expected after it has been applied to a Ubuntu SRU kernel.
We generally ask the bug reporter to perform this verification, but since this is a simple and straightforward patch and you have already verified it in another kernel build, there's a very minimal chance of this patch not fixing the issue or introducing some regression. So we can assume it's relatively safe to skip the verification with the Ubuntu kernels.

[Test Case] Touchpad not does not gets detected reliably. With the patch, it can get detected reliably. [Regression Potential] Minimal. The change limits to a single specific laptop. --- On my Gigabyte P57W laptop the ETPS/2 Elantech touchpad is inconsistently detected at boot. Trying mainline 4.6 kernel did not help.
