That's not a cr48 issue (actually the cr48 is also affected given that
it allocates 2 slots). To be able to fix the cursors jumps that we see
with any regular image sensor touchpad, I cleaned up all the code and
relied on the kernel tracking to provide an actual tracking. So now,
either the touchpad is old and it does forwards SEMI_MT, either it is
new enough and uses the in-kernel tracking.

Cheers,
Benjamin
