Making the firmware updates available through fwupd requires some patches to be applied, primarily to include usable firmware version in the keyboard firmware image, so I'll also include the fixes for the trackpad dimensions into those firmware patches.  That should improve the way touchpad works even further, because specifying custom EVDEV_ABS rules doesn't seem to work as expected, but I haven't debugged that further.

By the way, the eMMC modules we use also have updatable firmware. Smile
