(Get the code!)
I was able to test the latest patch from Hans on Arch Linux with 4.19.4-arch1 on my HP M6-AR004DX AMD FX-9800p laptop, and can confirm that the ELAN0732 touchscreen finally works! No need for the ACPI/DSDT edits. No more GPIO errors in journalctl, and the device was detected and installed with hid_multitouch.
To add icing to the cake, it even worked on the login screen (GDM) and within Gnome 3, with no manual configuration steps required, and no calibration required.
I had a bear of a time testing the patch this time (no issue with the patch itself); the latest Arch build scripts have moved to pulling kernel source via a git clone (massive download...multiple gigs...I have a relatively slow connection, and git clone offers no restart ability if the download times out or fails partway...). I had to manually download source with http and hack PKGBUILD to point at my local source copy (the latest Arch PKGBUILD also points to a newer kernel than the latest Arch release...seems like a problem), in addition to adding the patch file to prepare().
