[Pilot6 <1385137@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since the fix has been committed to mainline kernel, may be it is time to SRU it to ubuntu kernels?
I guess Ubuntu 15.05 will not come out with 4.0 kernel. Yhis means that many users will lack support of Focaltech touchpads till November.
I know that the patch is a bit large, but mostly it adds the new driver. Everything else is quite small and simple.
There is no regression risk.

The patch for 3.16 kernel can be pulled from my github. The last 6 commits.
They all are already applied upstream.

Title:
   [ASUS N550JK] Touchpad recognized wrongly as PS/2 mouse

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The touchpad on my ASUS N550JK laptop is being recognized as a PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse, rather than as a touchpad. 
  In this configuration it only works to move the pointer or clicking, all the advanced features (multi-touch, pinch, zoom, scroll...) can't be properly configured.

  This is the output of xinput:

  ⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
