Subject: [PATCH 5.15 004/917] Input: elantench - fix misreporting trackpoint coordinates

From: Phoenix Huang <phoenix@....com.tw>

commit be896bd3b72b44126c55768f14c22a8729b0992e upstream.

Some firmwares occasionally report bogus data from trackpoint, with X or Y
displacement being too large (outside of [-127, 127] range). Let's drop such
packets so that we do not generate jumps.
