Bug reference:

        https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/978807
        'Cypress Trackpad' incorrectly detected as 'ImPS/2 Generic Wheel
        Mouse' in 'Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook'

Precise SRU justification:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=kamal/ubuntu-precise.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cypress-for-precise

[IMPACT]

This patch set (cherry-picked from Quantal) provides a driver for the
Cypress PS/2 Trackpad found in the Dell XPS 13, XPS 15, and other laptop
models.

[TESTCASE]

The driver has been tested extensively in the "Sputnik Project" ISO and
kernel PPA.

To test:
1. Observe that this trackpad yields only basic pointer-motion events
without the new driver, but yields full multitouch support with the new
driver.
2. Verify that the new driver doesn't cause other non-Cypress trackpads
to fail.


[Regression Potential] 

I have verified that the driver doesn't adversely affect non-Cypress
trackpads by testing various laptops with Synaptics and Elantech
trackpads.  It is possible that other trackpads could be adversely
affected.


Thanks,

 -Kamal
