On updating to kernel 5.4.8, the trackpad freezes and refuses to work. The two workarounds that I am putting to use are either using a USB mouse as a replacement or rolling back to the 5.3.16 kernel where the trackpad works just fine.
Here is the output for inxi -Fmxz

Need help to recognize what exactly is causing such issue and of course, the solution.
