"cat /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/firmware_id":
PNP: LEN2132 PNP0f13

Confirming a fresh install of ubuntu 18.10 works yields a fully functional 
touchpad but updating (tested with current kernel 4.18.0-12-generic) renders 
the touchpad unusable.
Issuing "sudo sh -c 'echo -n "elantech"> 
/sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol'" restores the trackpads functionality 
for the current session as already described.

"dmesg | grep -i elan" yields:

firmware version 0x5f2001)

after echoing "elantech", dmesg shows

instead of the former last three lines.

Title:
  Elantech - Touchpad not working after upgrading to 18.10 from 18.04

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Confirmed affected laptops:
  ThinkPad: 
  L480
  L580
  P72
  P52

  
  When updating from 18.04 to 18.10 on a ThinkPad L480 the Elantech touchpad 
stopped working. This means it is not recognized at all. This problem occured 
after the first boot in 18.10

  `dmesg | grep -i elantech` shows the following errors:

      [    3.409043] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 
(with firmware version 0x5f3001)
      [    3.427372] psmouse serio1: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query 
result 0x90, 0x18, 0x10.

  I found the following thread which solves the problem temporarly (and reports 
the same problem in Arch):
  https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59714

  Running the following command enables it again for the current
  session:

      sudo sh -c 'echo -n "elantech">
  /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol'

  dmesg afterwards:

      [  569.522490] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 
(with firmware version 0x5f3001)
      [  569.544584] psmouse serio1: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query 
result 0x90, 0x18, 0x10.
      [  569.565939] psmouse serio1: elantech: Elan sample query result 00, 23, 
c8

  Before running the fix:

      $ cat /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol
      ETSMBus

  and after:

      $ cat /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol
      ETPS/2

  After reboot the command has to be run again, of course.
