[PATCH] input: elantech.c: add more exceptions to fw version signature check

[PATCH] input: elantech.c: add more exceptions to fw version signature check

[Martin Herkt]

This makes the driver work with the ElanTech touchpad of my
ASUS PU551LD laptop (fw signature 0x480f0a). There may be more
touchpads with firmware versions in the 0x4? range, so I've added
those to the exception as well.

I actually send a patch fixing the exact same bug earlier today...

This is wrong, the bits of param[0] which define the hw version of
the touchpads are in the low nibble, so your check will also match
older touchpads where we do not want to skip the rare check.

I've attached my patch, which actually checks the low nibble of
param[0]. It has already been tested on an Asus PU551LA laptop,
so it should work for your laptop too.

Regards,

Hans

Make the check to skip the rate check more lax, so that it applies
to all hw_version 4 models.

This fixes the touchpad not being detected properly on Asus PU551LA
laptops.

Oh, sorry about that. Should have paid more attention.
First time poking the kernel after all :)

Yes, this works. Thanks!
