Bug#774209: linux: add hardware support touchpad Acer C720 Chromebook

["Andreas B. Mundt" <andi.mundt@web.de>]

Source: linux
Version: 3.16.0-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi Ben and everybody concerned,

if still possible, please consider adding hardware support for the
Acer C720 Chromebook to the jessie kernel.

Support has been added in 3.17 and the patch is available here:

        http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=da3b0ab75aadab63d1ffd5563100c9386e444dad

(Thanks to Benjamin Przybocki pointing that out [1].)

Note that the Acer C720 Chromebook is particularly interesting to the
free software world as it runs Coreboot [2].  It would be nice to have the
complete functionality working in Debian Jessie.

Thanks and best regards,

       Andi
