From the development kernel git:

HID: asus: Add i2c touchpad support
Update the hid-asus module to add multitouch support for the Asus i2c
touchpad.
This patch aims to resolve the issue raised here:E
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.
The latest mainline kernel, Linux 4.9 that was released 11th of
December doesn't contain this patch.
I was able to get touchpad features to work with E502SA after patching
Xenial Xerus kernel with the above patch and the patches it depends
on.
