[ Upstream commit 46a0a2c96f0f47628190f122c2e3d879e590bcbe ]
Built-in firmware of cptkbd handles scrolling by itself (when middle
button is pressed) but with issues: it does not support horizontal and
hi-res scrolling and upon middle button release it sends middle button
click even if there was a scrolling event. Commit 3cb5ff0220e3 ("HID:
lenovo: Hide middle-button press until release") workarounds last
issue but it's impossible to workaround scrolling-related issues
without firmware modification.
Likely, Dennis Schneider has reverse engineered the firmware and
provided an instruction on how to patch it [1]. However,
aforementioned workaround prevents userspace (libinput) from knowing
exact moment when middle button has been pressed down and performing
"On-Button scrolling". This commit detects correctly-behaving patched
firmware if cursor movement events has been received during middle
button being pressed and stops applying workaround for this device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
