    falco: Add ACPI code to describe the I2C touchpad device
    
    If the SerialIO devices are put into ACPI mode then it is possible
    to use ACPI to instantiate the touchpad in the kernel without
    needing to have a platform level driver to do the binding.
    
    This is the "new way" of describing on-board I2C devices and the
    upstream kernel is starting to add ACPI IDs to drivers so they can
    be used in this fashion.  For the Cypress touchpad use a generic
    ACPI ID of "CYPA0000" to describe it.
    
    In order to support the proper scoping of the touchpad device under
    the appropriate I2C controller device the mainboard.asl file needs
    to be included after pch.asl so the I2C device exists.
