Just today Dmitry Torokhov, the Linux input system maintainer, mailed me
about how he was looking into that. To quote: 

  "I am attaching the version of Elantech driver that I want to apply (there
   were some tiny changes)..."

where applying means adding it to his input system source tree ready to be
sent on to Linus. So despair not, things are still moving forward! :)

Now that the driver is cleaned up, not much anymore :)
