Subject: [34-longterm 116/196] Input: elantech - discard the first 2 positions on some firmwares

From: Éric Piel <E.A.B.Piel@...elft.nl>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 7f29f17b57255b6395046805a98bc663ded63fb8 upstream.

According to the Dell/Ubuntu driver, what was previously observed as
"jumpy cursor" corresponds to the hardware sending incorrect data for
the first two reports of a one touch finger. So let's use the same
workaround as in the other driver. Also, detect another firmware
version with the same behaviour, as in the other driver.
