Re: [PATCH v3 2/4] input: Cypress PS/2 Trackpad psmouse driver

Hi Henrik-

Thanks again for your review.  The forthcoming PATCH v4 includes the
majority of your change requests, except where noted below (and
considering my email "Subject: SEMI_MT vs. simulated mt")...

I don't understand the meaning of that comment either.  Perhaps the
original author Dudley Du can explain it.

Perhaps "cypress_read_tp_metrics" would be a better name.  Any thoughts
on this, Dudley?

I left this unchanged, as I think you and Dmitry agreed.

I #ifdef'd out the unused relative-mode code, as opposed to deleting it.
Will that be acceptable?

Dudley, can you answer this?  I left this (and all the scroll code)
unchanged.

Per Dudley, this does work in his disconnect/reconnect scenario, so I
re-enabled it.  We will continue to investigate why it fails
(harmlessly) in my suspend/resume scenario.

Ha!  Speak for yourself, Henrik!  ;-)  I'm starting to feel like maybe I
should be seeking absolution here!
