The array param[] in elantech_change_report_id() must be at least 3
bytes, because elantech_read_reg_params() is calling ps2_command() with
PSMOUSE_CMD_GETINFO, that is going to access 3 bytes from param[], but
it's defined in the stack as an array of 2 bytes, therefore we have a
potential stack out-of-bounds access here, also confirmed by KASAN:
I think a comment in the code why the array size is 3 when only 2 values
are defined would be helpful. Like a short summary of the above.
Good idea, I like it, I'll send a v2 adding such comment.

Thanks!
