[regression 4.4 -> 4.8] Please re-enable CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_ELAN

[Timo Jyrinki]

I think this may have lost in the noise of bug #1609745, and I'm uncertain how to change the bug anymore to affect yakkety's to-be-kernel instead of bisecting 4.4 functionality of the option which is a different topic.

So this bug is now about that the fact that the 4.8.0-8.9 kernel from ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa has lost the option CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_ELAN in Ubuntu ("not set"), which is a regression from 4.4 kernels where it was still enabled as a module. Remains unset in 4.8.0-12.13.

Please enable it again, since in 4.8 the touchscreen functionality would work pretty well, unlike in 4.4.
