Since 4.14 you can just add psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=1 in the boot parameters.

I can confirm the params make my trackpad work on 4.15.

I wonder why it works with those kernel params, even though the LEN0073 part is not merged in.

psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=1 helps with the trackpad on T460p!
