https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/commit/3fb8860dc487568518d69e9074135041296d1e75
This ID is included in upstream.

[Impact]

 * Devices have synaptics fingerprint component will get
   supported.

 * Supported list.
   [06cb:0100]
   [06cb:00f0]
   [06cb:0103]
   [06cb:0123]
   [06cb:0126]
   [06cb:0129]

[Test Plan]

 * Find a machine with this fingerprint device

 * Launch `settings` and enable `Fingerprint Login`

 * Enroll finger and then logout

 * Login system with enrolled finger

[Where problems could occur]

 * The only impact will be more synaptics devices get supported.
 * 0xE7 is removed by Synaptics, so the user who is using this device will not be supported.

Upload debdiff for focal

upload debdiff for impish

Thanks Andy, uploaded to focal and impish now

Why does this remove PID 0xE7: synaptics-add-new-PID-0x100-and-remove-PID-0xE7

It seems that this is removing some device support. Why?

[Andy Chi (andch)]

Hello @raof,
0xE7 is removed by Synaptics, I'm not sure why they stop supporting 0xE7 in the upstream. The version in Jammy include this commit as well.

Hey Andy! I accepted the SRUs, but thinking about the removal of 0xE7 a bit more... maybe we could consider leaving it for focal? What implications would it have?

[Andy Chi (andch)]

Hi @sil2100,
I'm not sure the real reason why <email address hidden> remove this ID. We can keep this ID for focal, but user will lost support when they upgrade to Jammy.

[Andy Chi (andch)]

Hi @sil2100,
confirmed with Synaptics, they suggest to remove this ID because there’s no correct sensor cofig data in libfprint. So I'll keep removing it.
