Subject: [PATCH 4.15 036/128] HID: elo: clear BTN_LEFT mapping

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@...e.cz>


[ Upstream commit 9abd04af951e5734c9d5cfee9b49790844b734cf ]

ELO devices have one Button usage in GenDesk field, which makes hid-input map
it to BTN_LEFT; that confuses userspace, which then considers the device to be
a mouse/touchpad instead of touchscreen.

Fix that by unmapping BTN_LEFT and keeping only BTN_TOUCH in place.
