Thanks, I agree that this is better then my fix I also like the logging
added to 2/3 which lets us know if the commit 4dc2287c1805 workaround
is active.

I have one small remark on 3/3. Regardless of that getting addressed
the entire series is:

Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>

I've done a Fedora test kernel build of 5.16.12 with these 3 patches
added and asked the reporters of:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1868899
(ideapad touchpad bug)

and:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2029207
(Lenovo x1 carbon gen 2 regression with my bios-data based fix_

to test the rpms and to collect dmesg. On the X1C2 this should show
the new logging from 2/3 "in action" and on the ideapad the touchpad
should still work...

Hans
