Today my Thinkpad X200's fingerprint scanner stopped working in linux (it still works perfectly fine in windows). Based on the logs it seems that libfprint detects the scanner, it just doesn't recieve any data.

Here's my logfile

My guess is that Windows driver updated firmware to the version that is not compatible with Linux driver.

That's pretty old hardware, so I'm not really interested in fixing this driver. Feel free to submit a fix if you'll find one.
