yes. I don't want crazy in-driver functionality for touchpads that don't
need it. There should be discovery of that feature and it should only be
exposed when the LED is available.

note that we'll likely need to query the LED state as well to avoid
getting the touchpad into an inconsistent state (disabled, when it's
actually enabled etc.)

looking through linux/input.h, we should send KEY_TOUCHPAD_ON/OFF when
that button is pressed. The clients can then decide what to do, rather
than having this behaviour enforced in the driver.
