I'll be sending pull request to Linus this evening and should take care of
this as well. I guess we need to pull it out of stable as well since Vadim's
thouchpad was usable even with older code but some touchpads are completely
broken now.

We can re-instate the fix later when we make sure it works fr everyone.

Thanks.

Yup. BTW. The pull request I sent to Linus yesterday has a revert for
that. Can you take care of stable ?

Thanks !

Cheers,
