Sure, I'd be happy to coordinate.

Where does that leave this patch? Do you want to take it now and
integrate improvments from working with Elantech as they come, or hold
off? I'd personally like to see this patch get merged unless there are
objections to it, as it works well and gives us at least some support
for these touchpads right now. It's been tested so far on the following
laptop models:

  Samsung NF210
  Samsung NF310
  Samsung QX410
  Asus X93S

It would certainly be great to get it reviewed by the folks from
Elantech to make sure all the details of the hardware interaction are
correct though.

Thanks,
Seth
