[PATCH] HID: lenovo: Add middleclick_workaround sysfs knob for cptkbd

From: Mikhail Khvainitski
Date: Mon Sep 18 2023 - 12:03:22 EST


Built-in firmware of cptkbd handles scrolling by itself (when middle
button is pressed) but with issues: it does not support horizontal and
hi-res scrolling and upon middle button release it sends middle button
click even if there was a scrolling event. Commit 3cb5ff0220e3 ("HID:
lenovo: Hide middle-button press until release") workarounds last
issue but it's impossible to workaround scrolling-related issues
without firmware modification.

Likely, Dennis Schneider has reverse engineered the firmware and
provided an instruction on how to patch it [1]. However,
aforementioned workaround prevents userspace (libinput) from knowing
exact moment when middle button has been pressed down and performing
"On-Button scrolling". This commit makes it possible to disable this
workaround by sysfs knob.
