Joseph,

This commit will never be included in upstream stable versions. That's the problem.
They will just release 4.0 and that's it. But Ubuntu users will not have the driver till 15.10 is released.

I think this is the case, when more creative approch is needed.

Bug description:
  I have notebook Asus K551LN and after Ubuntu installation the touchpad
  is not working correctly and cursor moves in intevals regularly to the
  left side ofdisplay. I used the recommended trick with proto.bare
  command added to boot line but after several months of waiting for a
  solution I post it here.
