Subject: [PATCH stable 5.2/4.19] Revert "Input: elantech - enable SMBus on new (2018+) systems"

This reverts commit 60956b018bfe23b879405a7d88103d0a8f06a5e3.

This patch depends on an other series:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-input/list/?series=122327&state=%2A&archive=both

It was a mistake to backport it in the v5.2 branch, as there
is a high chance we encounter a touchpad that needs the series
above.

Hi,

this is a stable only patch aimed at kernels v5.2 and v4.19 branches.

We already have 2 bug reports of a failing touchpad, and I don't think
it is worth trying to get a smoother touchpad if we randomly
break a few of them in the way.

Cheers,
Benjamin
