I think KT forgets to add an empty line between patch subject and body
when committing to their tree.

This "special" mode is simply the basic PS/2 mode, right? And the issue
is that this firmware version does not really support absolute mode, at
least not in the form that current driver supports?

If it is really basic PS/2 mode you can simply return "false" from
elantech_init() and we'll reset the mouse and try the basic protocols in
psmouse-base.

Thanks.
