+Subject: [PATCH] elantech: Deal with clickpads reporting right button events
+
+At least the Dell Vostro 5470 elantech *clickpad* reports right button
+clicks when clicked in the right bottom area.
+
+This is different from how (elantech) clickpads normally operate,
+normally no matter where the user clicks on the pad the pad always reports
+a left button event, since there is only 1 hardware button beneath the path.
+
+It is unknown if this is caused by Dell having put 2 buttons under the pad,
+one under each bottom corner, or if this is something caused by the specific
+firmware in this clickpad.
+
+Since this however still clearly is a real clickpad hardware-wise, we still
+want to report it as such to userspace, so that things like finger movement
+in the bottom area can be properly ignored as it should be on clickpads.
+
+So deal with this weirdness by simply mapping a right click to a left click
+on elantech clickpads. As an added advantage this is something which we can
+simply do on all elantech clickpads, so no need to add special quirks for
+this weird model.
