Hi guys,

As I understand the second part of the patchset will take a while until it get
merged. Is it possible to merge the first part only? Without this, LEN0073 users
can not use psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=1 as a workaround. LEN0073 is not
usable at all unless users patch the kernel manually.
Benjamin, Andrew, any comments/objections on expanding the acceptable
version range?
I didn't comment earlier since I didn't have any specific info about 
SMBus v3. But, looking at the spec for v3 it sounds like our v2 
touchpads should be compatible with a v3 bus.

"This version of the specification is a superset of previous versions, 
1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. The intent is that all devices compliant with these 
previous versions are compliant with this version."

 From http://smbus.org/specs/SMBus_3_0_20141220.pdf pg 8 section 1.3.

Based on that quote and the fact that it seems to work for Yiannis makes 
me think that this change is probably ok.

Andrew
Thanks.
