Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] Input: synaptics - handle spurious release of trackstick buttons

The Fimware 8.1 has a bug in which the extra buttons are only sent
when the ExtBit is 1.
This should be fixed in a future FW update which should have a bump
of the minor version.

v2:
- break out extra buttons reporting in its own function
- use firmware version to remove the spurious releases
