Subject: Input: elantech - fix for newer hardware versions (v7)

commit 9eebed7de660c0b5ab129a9de4f89d20b60de68c upstream.

* Fix version recognition in elantech_set_properties

  The new hardware reports itself as v7 but the packets'
  structure is unaltered.

* Fix packet type recognition in elantech_packet_check_v4

  The bitmask used for v6 is too wide, only the last three bits of
  the third byte in a packet (packet[3] & 0x03) are actually used to
  distinguish between packet types.
  Starting from v7, additional information (to be interpreted) is
  stored in the remaining bits (packets[3] & 0x1c).
  In addition, the value stored in (packet[0] & 0x0c) is no longer
  a constant but contains additional information yet to be deciphered.
  This change should be backwards compatible with v6 hardware.
