Hardware • Touchpad in Lenovo Ideapad 3 not working (likely an I2C issue)

G'day Debian community. My winter-hobby to migrate my whole infrastructure away from Windows suddenly came to an hard stop.
I can not get the touchpad to work in my two Lenovo Ideapad 3 Flex notebooks (Type 11ADA05).

The machines worked under Win11 so far – where every hardware component was working. Now after a fresh install of debian Trixie with KDE Plasma desktop, everything seems to work exept the Touchpad. The Multitouch-Screen, Keyboard, Special-Keys etc. are working out of the Box.

The boot log show the following entries, that -to my understanding- are hinting in a certain direction.

Code:

[    1.553647] i2c_hid_acpi i2c-ELAN238E:00: i2c_hid_get_input: IRQ triggered but there's no data[    1.569172] input: ELAN238E:00 04F3:2A77 Touchscreen as /devices/platform/AMDI0010:00/i2c-0/i2c-ELAN238E:00/0018:04F3:2A77.0001/input/input7[    1.569638] input: ELAN238E:00 04F3:2A77 as /devices/platform/AMDI0010:00/i2c-0/i2c-ELAN238E:00/0018:04F3:2A77.0001/input/input8[    1.569717] input: ELAN238E:00 04F3:2A77 as /devices/platform/AMDI0010:00/i2c-0/i2c-ELAN238E:00/0018:04F3:2A77.0001/input/input9[    1.569864] hid-generic 0018:04F3:2A77.0001: input,hidraw0: I2C HID v1.00 Device [ELAN238E:00 04F3:2A77] on i2c-ELAN238E:00[    1.610835] input: ELAN238E:00 04F3:2A77 as /devices/platform/AMDI0010:00/i2c-0/i2c-ELAN238E:00/0018:04F3:2A77.0001/input/input11[    1.611044] input: ELAN238E:00 04F3:2A77 UNKNOWN as /devices/platform/AMDI0010:00/i2c-0/i2c-ELAN238E:00/0018:04F3:2A77.0001/input/input12[    1.611134] input: ELAN238E:00 04F3:2A77 UNKNOWN as /devices/platform/AMDI0010:00/i2c-0/i2c-ELAN238E:00/0018:04F3:2A77.0001/input/input13[    1.611263] hid-multitouch 0018:04F3:2A77.0001: input,hidraw0: I2C HID v1.00 Device [ELAN238E:00 04F3:2A77] on i2c-ELAN238E:00
Seems the touchpad is not identified as an known I²C device. Which then prevents that the drivermodules are installing the correct device-drivers (unloading, and reloading i²C related modules changes nothing).

I also followed an other hint (also from the logs and from Ubuntu/Debian releated forums) to boot with parameter

Code:

i8042.nopnp
set. That did not change anything funcionally.

Here is the output from

Code:

egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps|elan' /proc/bus/input/devices

Code:

I have no clue, how to tackle down this issue any further. Thankful for any hint on how to get on!
