Hmm. It's commit 279967a65b32 ("HID: rmi: Handle all Synaptics
touchpads using hid-rmi").

And the reason seems to be stupid: I don't have RMI enabled at all,
because that didn't use to work or make a difference.

Maybe that "let's use RMI" code should depend on RMI actually being
enabled? Because as-is, that code now breaks existing configurations.
