SYNA30B4:00 06CB:CE09 Mouse on HP EliteBook 850 G7 not working at all

[Wolfgang Schupp]

== SRU Justification ==
[Impact]
Pointstick and its left right buttons don't work on EliteBook 859 G7.

[Fix]
Use the MT_CLS_WIN_8_FORCE_MULTI_INPUT so the usage collection for
pointsitck and touchpad won't merge together.

[Test]
With the patch applied, pointstick and its left and right buttons start
to work.

[Where problems could occur]
The quirk limits to one specific touchpad/pointstick combo, so
regression would be highly unlikely.

== Original Bug Report ==

The touchpad is working fine, but the pointing stick/trackpoint does not work at all.
No input is registered with xinput and libinput device tests.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Leon Workman (leonworkman)]

Exact same system model and Synaptics device. We're interested in getting the top two physical buttons working. xev does not even register anything when the buttons are pressed.
List of things attempted:

1.
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics breaks the touchpad altogether when installed, under-touchpad ones no longer register a central button 2.

With xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed and x.org using, "Using input driver 'synaptics' for 'SYNA30B4:00 06CB:CE09 Touchpad'",
