sorry if I'm missing something, but I don't see why this should be
backported: it doesn't fix anything, it's just adding support for new
hardware.

I can see that adding a device ID is permitted for -stable [1], but I
thought it still has to bear some signs of a fix, such as maybe here
[2].

Furthermore, you are also proposing to backport Duje's touch keys
support [3] which I think is unarguably a new feature and not a fix at
all. Of all the Imagis patches, only the touch area correction [4] seems
to make sense for backporting.

Could you please explain?
