Subject: [PATCH 0/1][RESUBMIT] input: fix weird issue of synaptics psmouse sync lost

We have been using this patch in Ubuntu kernels for 5 months now
without issue. Since patch author Eric Miao no longer works for us,
I'm sending to the list so that other distros can take advantage of
this.

Last we left off, the suggestion was to make this generic across the
entire range of protocols, not just synaptics. I'm against this for
two reasons. The first is that I don't want to have to ask for
additional testing (I don't have access to the machine). The second
and far more important reason is that I am afraid that this will break
other non-synaptics touchpads, and even though we have a wide range of
hardware, it is impossible to guarantee that it'll work on everything
out there. I will do it however if it's the way we need to go with
this.

Please let me know what you think, or if you need any additional
information or testing.
