[PATCH] input: cypress_ps2: Don't report the cypress PS/2 trackpads as a button pad

[Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>]

The cypress PS/2 trackpad models supported by the cypress_ps2 driver emulate
BTN_RIGHT events in firmware based on the finger position, as part of this
no motion events are sent when the finger is in the button area.

The INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD property is there to indicate to userspace that
BTN_RIGHT events should be emulated in userspace, which is not necessary
in this case.

When INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD is advertised userspace will wait for a motion event
before propagating the button event higher up the stack, as it needs current
abs x + y data for its BTN_RIGHT emulation. Since in the cypress_ps2 pads
don't report motion events in the button area, this means that clicks in the
button area end up being ignored, so INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD actually causes
problems for these touchpads, and removing it fixes:
