This was overengineered. The separation between the model quirks file and the
udev hwdb matches allowed for more complex firmware detection. Except we never
used it anywhere but on ALPS and there we can, thankfully, just get it from
the version number in the input_id field exposed in the modalias.
So let's drop this and use that match instead. We just need an extra udev rule
to match on ID_INPUT_POINTINGSTICKs so we can differ between ALPS touchpads
and ALPS trackpoints.

Add support for firmware detection on pointing stick devices. This
is needed for ALPS only at this time.

The kernel fuzz handling is buggy, especially when we want to rely on the fuzz
value for our hysteresis. But since this is a hw property and (at least
sometimes) set by the driver, we can't make this a pure libinput hwdb set
either.
So our workaround is:
* extract the (non-zero) fuzz into a udev property so we don't lose it
* set the fuzz to 0 to disable the in-kernel hysteresis
* overwrite our internal absinfo with the property fuzz
This way we get to use the hw-specified fuzz without having the kernel muck
around with it. We also get to use the EVDEV_ABS_ values in 60-evdev.hwdb to
override a driver-set fuzz.
Two drawbacks:
- we're resetting the kernel fuzz to 0, this affects any other users of the
device node. That's probably a minor impact only.
- we can only save this in a udev property there's a risk of this information
getting lost when playing around with udev rules. That too should be a minor
issue.

The firmware version is in id.version, not id.model which is always
PSMOUSE_ALPS for ALPS devices.
The various fw versions are listed in <kernel>/drivers/input/mouse/alps.h and
are all hex numbers. Version 8 is actually 0x800, change the match
accordingly.
Expected side-effect: earlier versions of ALPS touchpads now lose their
(erroneous) size assignment.

This will thus work if the property is only set on a parent device, not on the
device directly.

These touchpads have a terrible resolution when two fingers are down, causing
scrolling to jump around a lot. That then turns into bug reports that we can't
do much about, the data is simply garbage.

Some model-specific information isn't available through udev properties. This
callout is used to query the device directly and set a property that we can
then match on for the hwdb entries.
This is geared for Elantech and ALPS touchpads where the firmware version is
the interesting bit. The udev rule is added already to match on that, note
that the callout doesn't do anything at this point. The various
touchpad-related things will be added separately.
