    Input: elantech - deal with clickpads reporting right button events · cd9e83e2
    Hans de Goede authored
    At least the Dell Vostro 5470 elantech *clickpad* reports right button
    clicks when clicked in the right bottom area:
    
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1103528
    
    
    
    This is different from how (elantech) clickpads normally operate, normally
    no matter where the user clicks on the pad the pad always reports a left
    button event, since there is only 1 hardware button beneath the path.
    
    It looks like Dell has put 2 buttons under the pad, one under each bottom
    corner, causing this.
    
    Since this however still clearly is a real clickpad hardware-wise, we still
    want to report it as such to userspace, so that things like finger movement
    in the bottom area can be properly ignored as it should be on clickpads.
    
    So deal with this weirdness by simply mapping a right click to a left click
    on elantech clickpads. As an added advantage this is something which we can
    simply do on all elantech clickpads, so no need to add special quirks for
    this weird model.
