Hi, It is useful for userspace to know that they're not dealing with a regular mouse but rather with a pointing stick (e.g. a trackpoint) so that userspace can e.g. automatically enable middle button scrollwheel emulation. It is impossible to tell the difference from the evdev info without resorting to putting a list of device / driver names in userspace, this is undesirable. These patches add a property which allows userspace to see if a device is a pointing stick, and set it on all the pointing stick drivers. Note these patch apply on top of the current dtor/input.git for-linus branch. Specifically they depend upon a2418fc4a13 (Input: elantech - add support for trackpoint found on some v3 models).
