Input: elantech - add v4 hardware support
v4 hardware is a true multitouch capable touchpad (up to 5 fingers). The packet format is quite complex, please see protocol document for reference. Signed-off-by: JJ Ding <jj_ding@emc.com.tw> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

5977.2 Native absolute mode 6 byte packet format
598 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
599v4 hardware is a true multitouch touchpad, capable of tracking up to 5 fingers.
600Unfortunately, due to PS/2's limited bandwidth, its packet format is rather
601complex.
602
603Whenever the numbers or identities of the fingers changes, the hardware sends a
604status packet to indicate how many and which fingers is on touchpad, followed by
605head packets or motion packets. A head packet contains data of finger id, finger
606position (absolute x, y values), width, and pressure. A motion packet contains
607two fingers' position delta.
608
609For example, when status packet tells there are 2 fingers on touchpad, then we
610can expect two following head packets. If the finger status doesn't change,
611the following packets would be motion packets, only sending delta of finger
612position, until we receive a status packet.
613
614One exception is one finger touch. when a status packet tells us there is only
615one finger, the hardware would just send head packets afterwards.
