Description: Upgrading from 4.12 to 4.13 broke the keyboard on my Asus C300S Chromebook, and from what I've read when searching online, other Cherryview based devices. This is because support for this platform was reworked in 4.13. The solution is to enable CONFIG_PINCTRL_CHERRYVIEW=y. Currently, it is set to CONFIG_PINCTRL_CHERRYVIEW=m, which will cause it to load late, which in this case means not working at all. I have confirmed this fix works on 4.15.15-1 by making this change (and changing nothing else), rebuilding the linux package, and installing it.

For more information, see the upstream bug report here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194945

Additional info:
* linux 4.15.15-1

Steps to reproduce:
* Install any version of the linux package > 4.13
* Boot the system
* Keyboard doesn't work both in early boot nor post boot

I can confirm that this happens on the Asus C301SA. These are both reported as TERRA machines by dmidecode.

Hi, any updates here, or anything that you need for me? I'd really like to get this change merged in, as right now upgrading the kernel manually is a huge pain, and there are some security related patches that have landed recently in mainline.

This was fixed in linux 4.16.2-2.
