I can help with that: Kernel 3.17 enables my laptop's (Lenovo Flex 14) touchpad to be recognised while 3.16 doesn't. This is an ALPS v7 device, which got added by way of this commit https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3... and so missed 3.16.x series. With 13.2, therefore, my touchpad does not work (it is recognised as PS/2 mouse and that is even worse!), but I upgraded to 3.17.1 from Kernel:Stable and it works now. This is not an exotic device either: most recent Lenovo laptops in the Yoga and Flex series come with this or a synaptic touchpad whose support also only got added to Kernel 3.17.
Could you open the ticket in our bugzilla, the commit seems to able to be easily backported to 3.12 kernel.
It's no single commit but a large amount of commit series, so not that trivial. Look at the commits around the suggested one above.
You are right, Takashi, it does look like there are several commits relevant to this one. Anyway, then, let me know if I should close my bug-report here (requesting backporting ALPS v7 touchpad support to 3.16.x) http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903542 as WONTFIX.
