Title:
  Elantech - Touchpad not working after upgrading to 18.10 from 18.04
  (ThinkPad L480)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When updating from 18.04 to 18.10 on a ThinkPad L480 the Elantech
  touchpad stopped working. This means it is not recognized at all. This
  problem occured after the first boot in 18.10

  `dmesg | grep -i elantech` shows the following errors:

      [    3.409043] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 
(with firmware version 0x5f3001)
      [    3.427372] psmouse serio1: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query 
result 0x90, 0x18, 0x10.

  uname:

      $ uname -a

  I found the following thread which solves the problem temporarly (and reports 
the same problem in Arch):
  https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59714

  Running the following command enables it again for the current
  session:

      sudo sh -c 'echo -n "elantech">
  /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol'

  dmesg afterwards:

      [  569.522490] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 
(with firmware version 0x5f3001)
      [  569.544584] psmouse serio1: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query 
result 0x90, 0x18, 0x10.
      [  569.565939] psmouse serio1: elantech: Elan sample query result 00, 23, 
c8

  Before running the fix:

      $ cat /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol
      ETSMBus

  and after:

      $ cat /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol
      ETPS/2

  
  After reboot the command has to be run again, of course.
