[BUG] psmouse failes recognize synaptics mouse

[Olivier Bitsch]

Kernel: 4.1-rc1
Module: psmouse
Computer model: HP EliteBook Folio 1020 G1
Mouse model: Synaptics I2C
Operating system: Debian Testing/Sid

Issue: psmouse module detects initialy as Generic PS2 mouse. Mouse is
working, but not the multitouch features like two finger scrolling.
Apparently, psmouse wrongly detects an Alps device on load: psmouse
serio1: alps: Unknown ALPS touchpad: E7=10 00 64, EC=10 00 64 while HP
indicates this is a Synaptics ForcePad I2C.

Output of tpconfig:

# tpconfig -D 3
Probing mouse port [/dev/psaux].
Grabbing mouse port [/dev/psaux].
Trying Synaptics detection.
[query 00 => 0x60 0x3 0xc8]
Found Synaptics Touchpad.

Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode).

Seeing the details of the Folio 1040 which is already supported:

$ cat /sys/bus/pnp/drivers/i8042\ aux/00\:07/id
SYN300d
SYN0100
SYN0002
PNP0f13

For the Folio 1020 we have:

$ cat /sys/bus/pnp/drivers/i8042\ aux/00\:04/id
SYN3018
SYN0100
SYN0002
PNP0f13


Can we request support be added for the Folio 1020 to the synaptics driver
in the Linux kernel?

I already tried modifying drivers/input/mouse/synaptics.c line 1430 but the
driver does not load:

static const struct dmi_system_id forcepad_dmi_table[] __initconst = {
#if defined(CONFIG_DMI) && defined(CONFIG_X86)
	{
		.matches = {
			DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Hewlett-Packard"),
			DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1"),
		},
	},
	
+	{
+		.matches = {
+			DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Hewlett-Packard"),
+			DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "HP EliteBook Folio 1020 G1"),
+		},
+	},
#endif
	{ }
};
