Hi Benjamin-

Just to say, there's a few other patches that we would be keen to also
get into v4.10 if possible:

These three enable the F54 support to work properly on more devices:

Input: synaptics-rmi4 - stop scanning PDT after two empty pages
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9398323/

Input: synaptics-rmi4 - add support for F55 sensor tuning
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9359055/

Input: synaptics-rmi4 - Propagate correct number of rx and tx electrodes
to F54
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9359059/


I would also be keen to get at least some of the F34 reflash support in:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg47479.html

Would you be able to merge any of these into your series? I am happy to
do some of the work if you are busy.

cheers

Nick
