Lenovo ThinkPad Compact Keyboard accidently clicks

Hi, the issue is described here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2150771 The keyboard is able to scroll via the middle button, but the implementation is broken. Since 6.6.3 the kernel disables the workaround for the keyboard sometimes as the hid-lenovo module thinks the keyboard has a firmware without the broken implementation. So a user clicks accidentally somewhere while scrolling, which can lead to unpleasant pasting of text.

linux 6.7.4 is affected, the current linux-lts package also.

A upstream fix can be found in https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231223191401.70727-1-me@khvoinitsky.org/
