commit e9fb7cc63801d3dc71b60ca11c4d08f68f879a53 upstream.

BYD automatic protocol detection is extremely unreliable and is often
triggers false positives on regular mice, Sentelic touchpads, and other
devices. BYD has several documents that have recommended detection
sequence, but they conflict with each other and, as far as I can see, still
would not produce unique enough output to reliably differentiate BYD from
other PS/2 devices.

OEMs sourcing BYD devices also do not do us any favors by not supplying any
reasonable DMI data and instead leaving turds like "To Be Filled By O.E.M."
in place of vendor data, or "System Serial Number" as serial number.

On top of that BYD is not truly modern multitouch controller, but rather a
single-touch transitional device that only reports absolute coordinates at
the beginning of finger contact and then reverts to reporting
displacements, and thus not very precise; the only benefit from using BYD
mode vs the legacy PS/2 mode is possibility of edge scrolling.

Given the above, and the fact that BYD devices are somewhat uncommon, let's
disable automatic detection of BYD devices. Users who know they have BYD
trackpads or want to experiment can attempt to activate BYD protocol via
sysfs:

	echo -n "byd" &gt; /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/drvctl

commit 62837b3c1a95535d1a287c9c8c6563bbd8d37033 upstream.

Another Lifebook machine that needs the same quirk as other similar
models to make the driver working.

Also let's reorder elantech_dmi_force_crc_enabled list so LIfebook enries
are in alphabetical order.

commit f9a703a54d16ba2470391c4b12236ee56591d50c upstream.

Just like Fujitsu CELSIUS H730, the H760 also has an Elantech touchpad with
the same quirks. Without this patch, the touchpad is useless out-of-the-box
as the mouse pointer won't move.

This patch makes the driver aware of both the crc_enabled=1 requirement and
the middle button, making the touchpad fully functional out-of-the-box.

Some ASUS laptops were shipped with touchpads that require to be woken up
first, before trying to switch them into absolute reporting mode, otherwise
touchpad would fail to work while flooding the logs with:

	elan_i2c i2c-ELAN1000:00: invalid report id data (1)

Among affected devices are Asus E202SA, N552VW, X456UF, UX305CA, and
others. We detect such devices by checking the IC type and product ID
numbers and adjusting order of operations accordingly.

The VMWare EFI BIOS will expose port 0x5658 as an ACPI resource.  This
causes the port to be reserved by the APCI module as the system comes up,
making it unavailable to be reserved again by other drivers, thus
preserving this VMWare port for special use in a VMWare guest.

This port is designed to be shared among multiple VMWare services, such as
the VMMOUSE.  Because of this, VMMOUSE should not try to reserve this port
on its own.

The VMWare non-EFI BIOS does not do this to preserve compatibility with
existing/legacy VMs.  It is known that there is small chance a VM may be
configured such that these ports get reserved by other non-VMWare devices,
and if this ever happens, the result is undefined.
