I've just confirmed that these changes, included in 4.12.10, conflict with this patch set.

The middle click on the trackpoint will not work if both the commit and the changes in this gist are applied.

This patch, soon to be merged from linux-input to linux-stable, seems to work around the problem mentioned above...
IMO not a good fix, but it works with the patches in this gist.

Since 4.14 you can just add psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=1 in the boot parameters.

I can confirm the params make my trackpad work on 4.15.

I wonder why it works with those kernel params, even though the LEN0073 part is not merged in.

psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=1 helps with the trackpad on T460p!
