evemu-describe of my clickpad

Here (https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/libinput/clickpad-softbuttons/)
it says that two finger right clicking on clickpads is only enabled on Apple
clickpads, but there are many other clickpads for which right clicking with two
fingers should be enabled.

I'd say that this should be enabled for every clickpad that doesn't have
software button areas marked on the surface of the touchpad.

This lack of right clicking support with two fingers is what has been blocking
me from using wayland, so I had to patch libinput myself to always turn this
feature on.

In my particular case (a system76 galago ultra pro) the default behaviour of
the clickpad uses two finger right clicks.

I'll attach the evemu-describe of my touchpad and my workaround patch (which
isn't meant to go into libinput, only for other users like me that want this
functionality right now and want to recompile libinput for that).
