Touchpad not recognized

Hello,
I am using KDE plasma Wayland on a ASUS Z13 that comes with a detachable keyboard(and touchpad) as well as a touchscreen.

After a recent upgrade, the touchpad is no longer detected, it is recognized as a pointer but not a touchpad, and the gestures like scrolling fail to work. The scrolling from touchscreen works.

Here are some relevant logs:

Re: Touchpad not recognized

I have an temporary fix:

1. Use the lts-kernel:
sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers
sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
reboot and select lts

2. Create 61-asus-touchpad.hwdb in /etc/udev/hwdb.d
# ASUS ROG Flow Z13 folio touchpad override
evdev:input:b0003v0b05p1a30*
  ENV{ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD}="1"
  ENV{ID_INPUT_MULTITOUCH}="1"
  ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}="0"

3. Create hid_asus.conf in /etc/modprobe.d
# Prevent the ASUS HID driver from grabbing the Z13 folio
blacklist hid_asus
