I'll try this kernel ASAP too.
The keyboard/touchpad work with another one-(or two-)liner patch I
devised for this device only, which explain why it's not found on other
Asus T100+ sources. I don't have the details available here and now, but
you may find them on the mailing-list archive.
This patch reverts the touchpad to PS/2 compatibility mode, which
explains why scrolling doesn't work. The keyboard is actually attached
to the touchpad.
By the way, this keyboard/touchpad patch is dedicated to the TCM, and
removes features for all other devices using any Elan touchpad
(reverting them to PS/2 compat mode). It could be improved by
specifically targeting the ELAN0800 touchpad, and not the Elan vendor,
but I don't know how to do that...
