I do not think that the Elan problem is actually observable on any hardware with 4.17 at the moment, as it only shows up when switching some Elan devices from PS/2 to SMBus and the patches that do that are slated for the next merge window. I included it in the pull as a precaution. Switching Synaptics to RMI is much more user-visible... Still should have mentioned Elan corruption fix though. Thanks. -- Dmitry
