I installed Fedora 25 on my Thinkpad E470 and the Trackpoint works well.
But I cannot use the middle button (the button between left and right mouse click) to scroll.
Referring to this source it should be possible.
I found several hints on how to enable this feature on Xorg but I have no clue how to get it work with wayland.
Can anybody help out?
OS Info:
Fedora 25
Gnome 3.22.2
Wayland 1.12.0
libinput 1.6.3
Update:
Also libinput-debug-events
does not recognize pressing the middle mouse button. libinput-list-devices
prints the following:

As I found out the linux kernel had a bug that prevented Fedora from detecting the trackpoint. As far as I know only trackpoints from the new *70 series are affected.
The bug was fixed in Linux 4.13.
