Bug#618006: [PATCH 2.6.32.y] Input: bcm5974 - add support for MacBookPro8

[Andy Botting]

 Please do.

I applied the patch to the 2.6.32 kernel by hand, and it loaded and
detected the trackpad, but didn't seem to work.

There were plenty of other issues with this machine, due to the lack
of support for the new hardware. E.g. Radeon R600 requires at least
2.6.33, tg3 driver didn't support the bcrm network card, etc.

I think maybe it's not really appropriate for a kernel that old to be
running on this machine?

cheers,

Andy

 Andy has the hardware, or at least had access to the hardware back
 then. I have the hardware too now, but I don't have time to run the
 tests.

This patch is fairly trivial - but I can test it some time in the next
few days if needed.

cheers,

Andy
