This patch aims to resolve the issue raised here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120181

The issue is in relation to an Asus touchpad device which currently does not have
multitouch support.

The device currently falls through to the hid-generic driver which
treats the device as a mouse.

This patch aims to add the multitouch support.
The comments above should be in the commit message.
I've fixed that up.
Besides that and only one nitpick below, I don't have much to add.
I have helped a little bit the development on github which explains why
I can't find much to say ( I already complained :-P ).

There is at least an other device that would require to be added later,
which is the bluetooth cover of some Asus tablet IIRC. The protocol is
slightly different and we will need to keep both the keyboard and the
touchpad around, but it could be added later in an other patch.

For me, the patch is:

Not sure there is a need to change the name.
Good point, that's not for any good.

I've dropped this change, ammended the changelog (also indicating the 
changes I've done on top of the patch), and applied to for-4.10/asus.

Thanks,
