Hi Dmitry,

I currently don't have access to the device anymore, but apart from 
missing gesture functionality, it seemed to have some issues with 
selecting text by clicking and moving the cursor when running in PS/2 
mode, so I guess it might be good to push the patch to stable.

Regards
Yussuf Khalil
