Are the drivers actually being loaded? I do not see them in the sysfs
files in your bug report.
It appears that there is an error in /etc/udev/hotplug.rules, where
SUBSYSTEM=="input", BUS=="serio", ENV{MODALIAS}!="?*", \
should be replaced with:
SUBSYSTEM=="serio", ENV{MODALIAS}!="?*", \
But another user tried this and it did not work for him.
serio devices need some special handling because current kernels lack
some some features, but the modalias_serio is supposed to work around
this.
I am not sure about how this should be fixed, because on my system serio
hotplugging works. I wonder if this is related to the extreme
modularization in the official Debian kernels (e.g. I know that a serio
pseudo-event as currently generated by the kernel does not reach
udev).
