In patch 4/4 we do pnp-id matching in synaptics.c to set the new
INPUT_PROP_TOPBUTTONPAD property on relevant touchpads. Since the kernel
has a special pnp_id type + pnp_id matching code, the correct thing to
do is to use that for in kernel pnp-id matching, which means that we
need to propagate the pnp-id to the serio drivers.

Hans
