we've received a bug report about Thinkpad TrackPoint (ALPS DualPoint
Stick) on 6.2 kernel:
  https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1209805

[...]

I believe this is caused by the kernel now using -funsigned-char
everywhere and this should be fixed by this commit:

And there is a similar issue in the focaltech touchpad driver:

Dmitry, since this is hitting 6.2 users, perhaps you can send
a pull-req for your current for-linus branch to get the fix
on its way to stable ?

Hmm, no reply from Dmitry here or any other mail from him on lore since
a week. No big deal, but nevertheless a bit unfortunate, as I totally
agree: it would be really good to get this regressions fixed rather
sooner than later.

Is there any in-official de-facto co-maintainer for input that could
help out? CCing Jonathan, who according to get_maintainer.pl regularly
contributes to the input subsystem.

Guess if nothing happens soon I'll ask Linus to merge those two changes
directly, maybe he'll take them.

Ciao, Thorsten
