Hi all,
the trackpoint on the  Thinkpad X1 Carbon (5th gen) (model 20HQ) is
recognised as:
"ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" while typically it should be "TPPS/2 IBM
TrackPoint".

the following patch[1] adds the X1 Carbon gen 5 to work with the
rmi4_smbus support, there are some issues though:
- the touchpad _seems_ to be working a bit better (at least that's
what I feel like)
- the trackpoint moves too fast
- middle click scrolling is not enabled and can't be set with xinput

Can I do someting to improve/test the trackpoint issues, before
submiting this for merging?

ps.
also, when this is aplied the touchpad and trackpoint are recognized as

⎜   ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick             id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad          id=14   [slave  pointer  (2)]

Conversely, the middle button is not configured to emulate a mouse
wheel for scrolling, so I need to enable it explicitly with:
xinput set-prop "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" "libinput Scroll Method
Enabled" 0 0 1


I'm not sure what information to provide about the device. the kernel
seems to find it as:
[    0.690665] pnp 00:06: Plug and Play ACPI device, IDs LEN0072
PNP0f13 (active)



Additionally,
if I load the `psmouse` module with synaptics_intertouch=1 option I get:
$ xinput list
⎜   ↳ Synaptics TM3289-002                      id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick             id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad          id=14   [slave  pointer  (2)]

and kernel log:

but in that case the trackpoint is too sensitive and middle click
scrolling still doesn't work
