Subject: Input: elantech - force relative mode on a certain module
From: KT Liao <kt.liao@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit d899520b0431e70279bfb5066ecb6dc91d0b7072 ]
One of Elan modules with sample version is 0x74 and hw_version is 0x03 has
a bug in absolute mode implementation, so let it run in default PS/2
relative mode.
