Thank you! This fixed it for me. I was also seeing journalctl eating up processor and it was causing my battery to drain quicker.

Thanks! It works for me too.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot. This is probably applicable for non-Dell laptops too, at least those with so-called "precision touchpad".
On that note, rename your file to "reload-touchpad" 😆

Good deal, I've done something very similar, but was just reloading it on post, might be all the same but i like your approach better.

The ability to reprobe i2c-hid is broken in 4.20, but a fix was accepted into 5.1.

You can also apply this patch to fix issue all together if you're building your own kernel:
