Elantech touchpads work in absolute mode and do not generate relative
events so they should not be advertising them.

There exist laptops with Elantech touchpads where switching to absolute mode
does not happen, although writing the configuration register succeeds
without error. Reading back the register afterwards reveils that the
absolute mode bit is not set as if masked out by the touchpad firmware.
Always read back register 0x10, make sure that for hardware version 1 the
absolute mode bit is actually set and fail otherwise. This prevents the case
where the touchpad is claimed by the Elantech driver but is nonetheless not
working.

It seems that Elantech touchpad firmware version 2.34 on the Hercules eCAFÉ
suffers from a problem where bogus coordinates get reported at the beginning
of a touch action. This causes the mouse cursor or the scrolled page to
jump.
Included patch provides a workaround that discards mouse packets that are
likely to contain bogus coordinates. The workaround is activated when we
detect touchpad with fimware version 2.34.

Some Logitech mice react to the magic knock like Elantech touchpad would.
This leads to those mice being misdetected as Elantech touchpads. Add a
version query to elantech_detect() to distinguish the two.
[dtor@mail.ru:
- lower severity of some messages - when we are not sure yet if
device is Elantech or not not responding to knock is not an error.

This is version 5 of the driver. Relative mode support has been
dropped (users wishing to use touchpad in relative mode can use
standard PS/2 protocol emulation done in hardware). The driver
supports both original version of Elantech protocol and the newer
one used by touchpads installed in EeePC.
