[kendatsuba <bugs.kendatsuba@xxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that a BIOS update will change
anything, since this problem appears to be related to a new firmware
version not yet supported by the driver.

craftguy, could you please report if your patch solved the problem? does
the touchpad work as expected with hw_version = 4? In that case we can
forward the patch to the subsystem maintainers.
