v1.90.6 supports 00e7 Synaptics fingerprint sensor but does not work
Hi All
I have been waiting for the support for Synaptics fingerprint driver 00e7 which has been released in v1.90.6. I built it locally with meson and ninja but the sensor doesn't seem to be working for me.
Could someone point me in the right direction if there is something obvious that I have missed.

img-capture is reporting that the Synaptics Sensors doesn't support capture for some reason. It does detect it though. The warning is logged and exits with EXIT_FAILURE.
I am not sure if there is a general issue with the latest release or if this is something related to config. I did come across suggestions on updating the firmware with fwupd but it does not have any updates for my system.
Thanks for looking into this.
