Bit 2 of the mode byte has dual meaning: it can disable reporting of gestures when touchpad works in Relative mode or normal Absolute mode, or it can enable so called Extended W-Mode when touchpad uses enhanced Absolute mode (W-mode). The extended W-Mode confuses our driver and causes missing button presses on some Thinkpads (x250, T450s), so let's make sure we do not enable it. Also, according to the spec W mode "... bit is defined only in Absolute mode on pads whose capExtended capability bit is set. In Relative mode and in TouchPads without this capability, the bit is reserved and should be left at 0.", so let's make sure we respect this requirement as well.
