Input: add detailed multi-touch finger data report protocol
In order to utilize the full power of the new multi-touch devices, a way to report detailed finger data to user space is needed. This patch adds a multi-touch (MT) protocol which allows drivers to report details for an arbitrary number of fingers. The driver sends a SYN_MT_REPORT event via the input_mt_sync() function when a complete finger has been reported. In order to stay compatible with existing applications, the data reported in a finger packet must not be recognized as single-touch events. In addition, all finger data must bypass input filtering, since subsequent events of the same type refer to different fingers. A set of ABS_MT events with the desired properties are defined. The events are divided into categories, to allow for partial implementation. The minimum set consists of ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR, ABS_MT_POSITION_X and ABS_MT_POSITION_Y, which allows for multiple fingers to be tracked. If the device supports it, the ABS_MT_WIDTH_MAJOR may be used to provide the size of the approaching finger. Anisotropy and direction may be specified with ABS_MT_TOUCH_MINOR, ABS_MT_WIDTH_MINOR and ABS_MT_ORIENTATION. Devices with more granular information may specify general shapes as blobs, i.e., as a sequence of rectangular shapes grouped together by a ABS_MT_BLOB_ID. Finally, the ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE may be used to specify whether the touching tool is a finger or a pen. Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
