What about using the pnp-id, in my experience with the recent lenovo
laptops that tends to be more reliable.

Christopher, Andrew (added to the CC), can one of you tell us if there
is a capability bit to detect this, and if not can you perhaps provide
a list of pnp-ids of devices which behave like this ?

Moving this up means that on clickpads the button will no longer
be checked + set for hw->w == 2 packets. That seems like an unintended
side effect. If this is intended then this should probably be in its own
patch.

You're not setting a timer here, instead relying on there to be further events,
that is probably ok, but maybe put a comment to that extent here ?
