Subject: Input: elantech - force relative mode on a certain module

From: KT Liao <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit d899520b0431e70279bfb5066ecb6dc91d0b7072 ]

One of Elan modules with sample version is 0x74 and hw_version is 0x03 has a bug in absolute mode implementation, so let it run in default PS/2 relative mode.
