It is useful for userspace to know that there not dealing with a regular
mouse but rather with a pointing stick (e.g. a trackpoint) so that
userspace can e.g. automatically enable middle button scrollwheel
emulation.
It is impossible to tell the difference from the evdev info without
resorting to putting a list of device / driver names in userspace, this is
undesirable.
Add a property which allows userspace to see if a device is a pointing
stick, and set it on all the pointing stick drivers.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

The USB TrackPoint name string contains a space at the trailing end that
can cause confusion/difficulty when creating udev rules. Example:
"Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint (Stick) "
This patch removes the trailing space.

This patch adds a driver for Synaptics USB touchpad or pointing stick
devices. These USB devices emulate an USB mouse by default, so one can
also use the usbhid driver. However, in combination with special user
space drivers this kernel driver allows one to customize the behaviour
of the device.
An extended version of this driver with support for the cPad background
display can be found at
<http://jan-steinhoff.de/linux/synaptics-usb.html>.
