I see. It looks like there is some confusion on my part between IAP
version, IC type, and the commands that we want to use. Please let me
know if I understand this correctly:

- For patterns >=1 (newer)
  IAP version is retrieved with ETP_I2C_IAP_VERSION_CMD
  IC type is fetched with ETP_I2C_IC_TYPE_CMD
  Version comes from ETP_I2C_NSM_VERSION_CMD

- For pattern 0 (old)
  Before your patches
    IAP version was using ETP_I2C_IAP_VERSION_CMD (and you are saying
    it is wrong)
    Version comes from 1st byte of ETP_I2C_OSM_VERSION_CMD
    IC type comes from 2nd byte of ETP_I2C_OSM_VERSION_CMD (and you are
    saying it is some other bit of data - what is it then?)

  After your patches
    IAP version is retrieved with ETP_I2C_IAP_VERSION_CMD_OLD
    Version comes from 1st byte of ETP_I2C_OSM_VERSION_CMD
    IC type is retrieved with ETP_I2C_IAP_VERSION_CMD (should we rename
    it then?)

So the difference is where the the IC type is coming from for old
patterns. However, as I mentioned, we have the following body of code:

static int elan_check_ASUS_special_fw(struct elan_tp_data *data)
{
	if (data->ic_type == 0x0E) {
		switch (data->product_id) {
		case 0x05 ... 0x07:
		case 0x09:
		case 0x13:
			return true;
		}
	} else if (data->ic_type == 0x08 && data->product_id == 0x26) {
		/* ASUS EeeBook X205TA */
		return true;
	}

	return false;
}

And before your patches ic_type here would be the 2nd byte of response
to ETP_I2C_OSM_VERSION_CMD for older devices and my concern that
replacing it with data from ETP_I2C_IAP_VERSION_CMD would break these
checks.

We need to reconcile what we have in this function with what you are
proposing for firmware update code.

Thanks,
Dmitry
