Currently, we check any received packet whether we have already seen it
previously, regardless of the packet type (sequenced / unsequenced). We
do this by checking the sequence number. This assumes that sequence
numbers are valid for both sequenced and unsequenced packets. However,
this assumption appears to be incorrect.
On some devices, the sequence number field of unsequenced packets (in
particular HID input events on the Surface Pro 9) is always zero. As a
result, the current retransmission check kicks in and discards all but
the first unsequenced packet, breaking (among other things) keyboard and
touchpad input.
Note that we have, so far, only seen packets being retransmitted in
sequenced communication. In particular, this happens when there is an
ACK timeout, causing the EC (or us) to re-send the packet waiting for an
ACK. Arguably, retransmission / duplication of unsequenced packets
should not be an issue as there is no logical condition (such as an ACK
timeout) to determine when a packet should be sent again.
Therefore, remove the retransmission check for unsequenced packets
entirely to resolve the issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
