For a broken touchpad, it may take several months or longer to be fixed.
Polling mode could be a fallback solution for enthusiastic Linux users
when they have a new laptop. It also acts like a debugging feature. If
polling mode works for a broken touchpad, we can almost be certain
the root cause is related to the interrupt or power setting.

This patch could fix touchpads of Lenovo AMD gaming laptops including
Legion-5 15ARH05 (R7000), Legion-5P (R7000P) and IdeaPad Gaming 3
15ARH05.

When polling mode is enabled, an I2C device can't wake up the suspended
system since enable/disable_irq_wake is invalid for polling mode.

Three module parameters are added to i2c-hid,
    - polling_mode: by default set to 0, i.e., polling is disabled
    - polling_interval_idle_ms: the polling internal when the touchpad
      is idle, default to 10ms
    - polling_interval_active_us: the polling internal when the touchpad
      is active, default to 4000us

User can change the last two runtime polling parameter by writing to
/sys/module/i2c_hid/parameters/polling_interval_{idle_ms,active_us}.

Note xf86-input-synaptics doesn't work well with this polling mode
for the Synaptics touchpad. The Synaptics touchpad would often locks
into scroll mode when using multitouch gestures [1]. One remedy is to
decrease the polling interval.

Thanks to Barnabás's thorough review of this patch and the useful
feedback!
