    We are switching a bunch of
Lenovo devices with Synaptics touchpads from PS/2 emulation over to
native RMI/SMbus.

Given that all commits are marked for stable there is no point delaying
them till next release.

Hmm. The elan driver stack overrun isn't mentioned, but seems more
fundamental fix than the other changes that just add a few new PnP ID's...

I do not think that the Elan problem is actually observable on any
hardware with 4.17 at the moment, as it only shows up when switching
some Elan devices from PS/2 to SMBus and the patches that do that are
slated for the next merge window. I included it in the pull as a
precaution. Switching Synaptics to RMI is much more user-visible...

Still should have mentioned Elan corruption fix though.

Thanks.
