Hi,

thanks for the driver.

I'd like to ask you to put a few more effort into this, unifying this a 
little bit more with the existing driver for Lenovo devices we aready have 
in the tree -- hid-lenovo-tpkbd.

As most of the drivers are divided on a per-vendor basis anyway, what I'd 
probably like to see the most would be:

- drop HID_LENOVO_TPKBD (*)
- create HID_LENOVO
- rename your driver to hid-lenovo-scrollpoint
- build both hid-lenovo-tpkbd and hid-lenovo-scrollpoint when HID_LENOVO 
  is set

(*) or keep it for compatibility reasons, but make it just an alias for 
CONFIG_HID_LENOVO.

Sounds feasible?
