Yes. Thanks for adding it.

Having it configurable via gsettings is enough.

I have attached the final patch that I had proposed, but for whatever reasons,
the maintainer isn't convinced that that interface is needed.

For other Yoga users, you should be able to use this patch. The patch enables a
user-readable sysfs interface for the toucpad state (instead of creating a
tablet interface based on touchpad state). This sysfs interface can be
configured in Onboard through the gsettings interface.
