I intend to hold the autodetection patch till 2.6.35 as it did not have
enough testing on non-Elantech hardware to be sure that it does not
misdetect, for example, Logitech devices as Elantechs, and 2.6.34 is
about to be released.

The patch whitelisting 4.1.1 version was buggy BTW:

 !(x0 == A && x1 == B && x2 == C)

 =>

 (x0 != A || x1 != B || x2 != C)
