[RFC PATCH 0/2] Input: psmouse - new mechanism for bad packet handling

[JJ Ding <jj_ding@emc.com.tw>]

Hi list,

The first patch adds a new way to deal with bad packets. This mechanism is
used in our original driver. When I first sent the patches to support elan's
v3 and v4 hardware, Dmitry suggested this should be done in psmouse core, so
here is another try.

I am not sure if this is the prefered way to handle bad packets, so I introduce
PSMOUSE_SHIFT_PACKET for psmouse_ret_t, and convert elan driver to use this.

These patches are sent to gather feedback and comments, please take a look, and
let me know if this new mechanism is OK. Thank you very much.

P.S. patches are against Dmitry's -next tree.

Best regards,
-JJ
