**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:
## Commit Analysis
This commit adds support for the ThinkPad X1 Tablet Thin Keyboard Gen2
by adding its USB device ID (0x60a4) to the hid-lenovo driver. The
primary issue being fixed is that the trackpoint (pointing stick) is
non-functional without this patch.
## Code Changes Examination
1. **drivers/hid/hid-ids.h**: Adds `USB_DEVICE_ID_LENOVO_X1_TAB2` with
value 0x60a4. This follows the existing pattern where X1_TAB is
0x60a3 and X1_TAB3 is 0x60b5.
2. **drivers/hid/hid-lenovo.c**: The device ID is added to 7 locations:
- `lenovo_input_mapping()`: Enables X1 tablet keyboard-specific input
mappings
- `attr_fn_lock_store()`: Enables FnLock LED control functionality
- `lenovo_event()`: Handles special key events
- `lenovo_led_brightness_set()`: Controls mute/micmute LED indicators
- `lenovo_probe()`: Initializes device with tp10ubkbd infrastructure
- `lenovo_remove()`: Cleanup handling
- `lenovo_devices[]`: Device table entry with HID_GROUP_GENERIC
3. **drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c**: Adds multitouch support with
`MT_CLS_WIN_8_FORCE_MULTI_INPUT` class, consistent with other X1
Tablet devices.
## Stable Backport Criteria
This commit meets all the stable kernel backporting criteria:
1. **Fixes a real bug**: The trackpoint is completely non-functional
without this patch, affecting users who own this hardware.
2. **Small and contained**: The changes are minimal - just adding a
device ID to existing code paths. No new functionality or
architectural changes.
3. **Obviously correct**: The pattern is identical to existing X1 Tablet
support (Gen1 and Gen3). The commit follows established conventions.
4. **Low risk**: Cannot affect any other hardware since it's guarded by
specific device ID checks.
5. **Hardware enablement**: This is pure hardware enablement for a
specific device that doesn't work at all without this patch.
## Comparison with Similar Commits
Looking at the provided similar commits:
- Commits adding X1 Tablet Gen3 support (Similar #2) and X12 Tab Gen2
support (Similar #4) were marked YES for backporting
- Both fixed similar issues (non-working buttons, trackpoint, FnLock)
- This commit follows the exact same pattern
The commit marked NO (Similar #1) only added partial multitouch support
without the full hid-lenovo driver integration, which is why it wasn't
suitable for stable.
## Conclusion
This is a textbook example of a commit that should be backported to
stable kernels. It enables basic functionality (trackpoint) for specific
hardware that is completely broken without it, using minimal, well-
tested code patterns that cannot regress other devices.
