[Bug 1884288] Re: LapBook Pro touchpad (HTIX5288:00) sometimes does not work when machine is restarted

This link https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=231540 although
dated from 2018 appears to be a similar issue, but what is interesting
is the comment at the very bottom of the page regarding a possible
signal integrity issue. What's more interesting is that those who have
dual boots / partition seem to get Windows working fine, like
@Califa100. Can a patch be created to essentially replicate what the
machine is doing when running Windows so that touchpad always works upon
startup?

Title:
LapBook Pro touchpad (HTIX5288:00) sometimes does not work when
machine is restarted

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed

Bug description:
Touchpad completely ceases to work sometimes upon startup / restart.
When this happens, I have to plug in an external mouse to navigate as
touchpad is not even recognised as a device when I use xinput command
in terminal. I removed and reinstalled xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
which may have got it working again, although I am not too sure. When
the trackpad is working, it's device name is listed as HTIX5288:00
0911:5288 Touchpad.
