Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] input: trackpoint - Enable doubletap by default on capable devices

Enable doubletap functionality by default on TrackPoint devices that
support it. The feature is detected using firmware ID pattern matching
(PNP: LEN03xxx) with a deny list of incompatible devices.

This provides immediate doubletap functionality without requiring
userspace configuration. The hardware is enabled during device
detection, while event filtering continues to be handled by the
thinkpad_acpi driver as before.

---
Changes in v4:
- Simplified approach: removed all sysfs attributes and user interface
- Enable doubletap by default during device detection
- Removed global variables and complex attribute infrastructure
- Uses minimal firmware ID detection with deny list
- Follows KISS principle as suggested by reviewers

Changes in v3:
- No changes

Changes in v2:
- Improve commit messages
- Sysfs attributes moved to trackpoint.c
- Removed unnecessary comments
- Removed unnecessary debug messages
- Using strstarts() instead of strcmp()
- is_trackpoint_dt_capable() modified
- Removed _BIT suffix and used BIT() define
- Reverse the trackpoint_doubletap_status() logic to return error first
- Removed export functions as a result of the design change
- Changed trackpoint_dev->psmouse to parent_psmouse
- The path of trackpoint.h is not changed
