Oh, too bad. I guess I've seen this comment only after I already made
the changes. In case the patch set doesn't work for you as is: please
apply 0001-Input-elantech-allow-forcing-of-different-register-m.patch
and 0002-Input-elantech-whitelist-firmware-version-4.17.patch on top.

If the original set works for you as is (that is, with force_elantech=1),
0001-Input-elantech-whitelist-firmware-version-4.17.patch will do the
whitelisting only, without changing the magic.

I'll hold off sending those patches to linux-input until you've got a
chance to test them. They aren't really relevant to the original patch
series anyway, as that just doesn't change any behaviour on firmware
4.17 yet.

Thanks again.
