Re: Dependency on non-existing config I2C_DMI_CORE in commit a2f416bf062a ("HID: multitouch: Add quirks for flipped axes")

Hi Lukas,

Thanks for catching this, that's definitely a mistake in my code.
That was supposed to be CONFIG_I2C_HID_CORE.

Should I send a follow-up patch for this, or another revision for the patch?
It looks like it hasn't been pulled into the mainline branch yet and I'm not
familiar with updating it while in a maintainer branch.

Thanks,
Allen
