In syn_ps2_translate_wmode_data() of the new synaptics.c, you have:
    report->left     = check_bits (data[0], 0x01);
    report->middle   = check_bits (data[0] ^ data[3], 0x01);
    report->right    = check_bits (data[0], 0x02);
    report->fourth   = check_bits (data[0] ^ data[3], 0x02);
    report->up       = 0;
    report->down     = 0;

On my pad, what here becomes middle and fourth, is actually an up/down
button that sits between button 1 and 3.  I see action masks and things
(didn't spend too much time): is it possible to make these end up as up and
down in the repeater device?
