[Impact]
The trackpoint cursor often suddenly jumps to an edge/corner, because
the hardware/firmware sometimes reports wrong coordinates / loses sync.

[Fix]
Ignore the buggy data reported by Elan TP firmware, make the TP usable.

[Test]
Tested on ThinkPad AMD X13 and users confirm on other platforms.

[Where problems could occur]
It's limited to specific Elan device, it may break the Elan Trackpoint.
