Thanks a lot for testing all this.

If the failure is limited to a single non-production touchpad then, I
suppose we should be fine. As long as there are no such systems out
there in the wild.

One additional thing we could check in mt_get_feature() is if the device
is connected via I2C and only in that case fetch the feature in
question.

Jiri, Benjamin, what do you think?
