Subject: Re: [PATCHv2] drivers/input/mouse: add support for newer elantech
 touchpads (released ca. August 2013);

From: Matt Walker <matt.g.d.walker@...il.com>

Added detection for newer Elantech touchpads, so that kernel doesn't
fall-back to default PS/2 driver. Supports touchpads released after
~August 2013.  Fixes bug:
