Motivation for this change

Without CONFIG_MOUSE_ELAN_I2C_SMBUS, the kernel warns

psmouse serio1: elantech: The touchpad can support a better bus than the too old PS/2 protocol. Make sure MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH_SMBUS and MOUSE_ELAN_I2C_SMBUS are enabled to get a better touchpad experience.

and it is quite correct, at least on this laptop (ThinkPad Yoga 14 20FY), where CONFIG_MOUSE_ELAN_I2C_SMBUS=y in conjunction with boot.extraModprobeConfig="options psmouse elantech_smbus=1" are necessary to eliminate an annoying sticky touchpad button issue.

CONFIG_MOUSE_ELAN_I2C_SMBUS is enabled in Arch, CentOS, Fedora, and Ubuntu. (Debian lacks its prerequisite CONFIG_MOUSE_ELAN_I2C entirely.)
