Input: clear BTN_RIGHT/MIDDLE on buttonpads
Buttonpads are expected to map the INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD property bit and the BTN_LEFT key bit. As explained in the specification, where a device has a button type value of 0 (click-pad) or 1 (pressure-pad) there should not be discrete buttons: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/component-guidelines/touchpad-windows-precision-touchpad-collection#device-capabilities-feature-report However, some drivers map the BTN_RIGHT and/or BTN_MIDDLE key bits even though the device is a buttonpad and therefore does not have those buttons. This behavior has forced userspace applications like libinput to implement different workarounds and quirks to detect buttonpads and offer to the user the right set of features and configuration options. For more information: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/merge_requests/726 In order to avoid this issue clear the BTN_RIGHT and BTN_MIDDLE key bits when the input device is register if the INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD property bit is set. Notice that this change will not affect udev because it does not check for buttons. See systemd/src/udev/udev-builtin-input_id.c.
