Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 08/16] HID: lenovo: Detect quirk-free fw on cptkbd and stop applying workaround

From: Mikhail Khvainitski <me@...oinitsky.org>

[ Upstream commit 46a0a2c96f0f47628190f122c2e3d879e590bcbe ]

Built-in firmware of cptkbd handles scrolling by itself (when middle
button is pressed) but with issues: it does not support horizontal and
hi-res scrolling and upon middle button release it sends middle button
click even if there was a scrolling event. Commit 3cb5ff0220e3 ("HID:
lenovo: Hide middle-button press until release") workarounds last
issue but it's impossible to workaround scrolling-related issues
without firmware modification.

Likely, Dennis Schneider has reverse engineered the firmware and
provided an instruction on how to patch it [1]. However,
aforementioned workaround prevents userspace (libinput) from knowing
exact moment when middle button has been pressed down and performing
"On-Button scrolling". This commit detects correctly-behaving patched
firmware if cursor movement events has been received during middle
button being pressed and stops applying workaround for this device.
