So I did. Updated patch which differs in

dev->valid = 0; (note the space around =) and further removed debug code
(which never got triggered but checkpatch.pl complained about)

attached.

Sometimes, there's a moment as you're waking, when you become aware of
the real world around you, but you're still dreaming.
The attached patch is based on Matthew Garret's patch 'Make appletouch shut
up when it has nothing to say' patches (e.g.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/13/117): Matthews description follows / second
paragraph lists my additional changes.

The appletouch geyser3 devices found in the Intel Macs (and possibly some
later PPC ones?) send a constant stream of packets after the first touch.
This results in the kernel waking up around once every couple of
milliseconds to process them, making it almost impossible to spend any
significant period of time in C3 state on a dynamic HZ kernel. Sending the
mode initialization code makes the device shut up until it's touched again.
This patch does so after receiving 10 packets with no interesting content.

In addition it now empties the work queue via cancel_work_sync on module
exit, keeps all error checking and only reports BTN_LEFT presses if bit 1
in the status byte (last byte in packet) is set. This fixes the random
left clicks issue. Furthermore it invalidates touchpad data before the
mode switch, which fixes the touchpad runs amok issue.

Credits:
Sven Anders found out that one should only check for bit 1 for BTN_LEFT.
Matthew Garrett did the initial 'Make appletouch shut up when it has
nothing to say' so I am adding him to the signed-off lines (hope that is
the correct way).
