Extremely slim, the current generation of samples are 3.3V units instead
of 5V units.

When I go in and do this, would it make sense to split out most of the
external to psmouse-base.c drivers to be options, most tied to being on
unless CONFIG_EMBEDDED is enabled?


Yes, that would be nice. Just keep in mind that we need to detect
synaptics touchpads even if driver support is disabled so that we can
properly reset them if they don't support imex or exps protocols.
Otherwise the trackpoint connected to the pass-through port stops
working.
