[PATCH 4/6] Input: elantech - work around EC buffer

From: JJ Ding
Date: Wed Aug 17 2011 - 21:56:11 EST


With some EC chips, when we resync due to bad packets, those bad bytes would
still remain in EC's buffer area. That makes us always get bad data back,
no matter what.

So shift packet for 1 byte when encounter bad packet, until we get rid of those
bytes.
