+
+This driver adds support for the multi-touch trackpad on the new Apple
+Macbook Air and Macbook Pro laptops. It replaces the appletouch driver on
+those computers, and integrates well with the synaptics driver of the Xorg
+system.
+
+Known to work on Macbook Air, Macbook Pro Penryn and the new unibody
+Macbook 5 and Macbook Pro 5.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The driver loads automatically for the supported usb device ids, and
+becomes available both as an event device (/dev/input/event*) and as a
+mouse via the mousedev driver (/dev/input/mice).
+
+USB Race
+--------
+
+The Apple multi-touch trackpads report both mouse and keyboard events via
+different interfaces of the same usb device. This creates a race condition
+with the HID driver, which, if not told otherwise, will find the standard
+HID mouse and keyboard, and claim the whole device. To remedy, the usb
+product id must be listed in the mouse_ignore list of the hid driver.
+
+Debug output
+------------
+
+To ease the development for new hardware version, verbose packet output can
+be switched on with the debug kernel module parameter. The range [1-9]
+yields different levels of verbosity. Example (as root):
+
+echo -n 9 > /sys/module/bcm5974/parameters/debug
+
+tail -f /var/log/debug
+
+echo -n 0 > /sys/module/bcm5974/parameters/debug

+Multi-touch (MT) Protocol
+-------------------------
+	Copyright (C) 2009	Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se>
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+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 document
+describes the multi-touch (MT) protocol which allows kernel drivers to
+report details for an arbitrary number of fingers.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Anonymous finger details are sent sequentially as separate packets of ABS
+events. Only the ABS_MT events are recognized as part of a finger
+packet. The end of a packet is marked by calling the input_mt_sync()
+function, which generates a SYN_MT_REPORT event. The end of multi-touch
+transfer is marked by calling the usual input_sync() function.
+
+A set of ABS_MT events with the desired properties is 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 an
+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 or something else.
+
+
+Event Semantics
+---------------
+
+The word "contact" is used to describe a tool which is in direct contact
+with the surface. A finger, a pen or a rubber all classify as contacts.
+
+ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR
+
+The length of the major axis of the contact. The length should be given in
+surface units. If the surface has an X times Y resolution, the largest
+possible value of ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR is sqrt(X^2 + Y^2), the diagonal.
+
+ABS_MT_TOUCH_MINOR
+
+The length, in surface units, of the minor axis of the contact. If the
+contact is circular, this event can be omitted.
+
+ABS_MT_WIDTH_MAJOR
+
+The length, in surface units, of the major axis of the approaching
+tool. This should be understood as the size of the tool itself. The
+orientation of the contact and the approaching tool are assumed to be the
+same.
+
+ABS_MT_WIDTH_MINOR
+
+The length, in surface units, of the minor axis of the approaching
+tool. Omit if circular.
+
+The above four values can be used to derive additional information about
+the contact. The ratio ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR / ABS_MT_WIDTH_MAJOR approximates
+the notion of pressure. The fingers of the hand and the palm all have
+different characteristic widths [1].
+
+ABS_MT_ORIENTATION
+
+The orientation of the ellipse. The value should describe half a revolution
+clockwise around the touch center. The scale of the value is arbitrary, but
+zero should be returned for an ellipse aligned along the Y axis of the
+surface. As an example, an index finger placed straight onto the axis could
+return zero orientation, something negative when twisted to the left, and
+something positive when twisted to the right. This value can be omitted if
+the touching object is circular, or if the information is not available in
+the kernel driver.
+
+ABS_MT_POSITION_X
+
+The surface X coordinate of the center of the touching ellipse.
+
+ABS_MT_POSITION_Y
+
+The surface Y coordinate of the center of the touching ellipse.
+
+ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE
+
+The type of approaching tool. A lot of kernel drivers cannot distinguish
+between different tool types, such as a finger or a pen. In such cases, the
+event should be omitted. The protocol currently supports MT_TOOL_FINGER and
+MT_TOOL_PEN [2].
+
+ABS_MT_BLOB_ID
+
+The BLOB_ID groups several packets together into one arbitrarily shaped
+contact. This is a low-level anonymous grouping, and should not be confused
+with the high-level contactID, explained below. Most kernel drivers will
+not have this capability, and can safely omit the event.
+
+
+Finger Tracking
+---------------
+
+The kernel driver should generate an arbitrary enumeration of the set of
+anonymous contacts currently on the surface. The order in which the packets
+appear in the event stream is not important.
+
+The process of finger tracking, i.e., to assign a unique contactID to each
+initiated contact on the surface, is left to user space; preferably the
+multi-touch X driver [3]. In that driver, the contactID stays the same and
+unique until the contact vanishes (when the finger leaves the surface). The
+problem of assigning a set of anonymous fingers to a set of identified
+fingers is a euclidian bipartite matching problem at each event update, and
+relies on a sufficiently rapid update rate.
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+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.
+
+The first kernel driver to utilize the MT protocol is the bcm5974 driver,
+where examples can be found.
+
+[1] With the extension ABS_MT_APPROACH_X and ABS_MT_APPROACH_Y, the
+difference between the contact position and the approaching tool position
+could be used to derive tilt.
+[2] The list can of course be extended.
+[3] The multi-touch X driver is currently in the prototyping stage. At the
+time of writing (April 2009), the MT protocol is not yet merged, and the
+prototype implements finger matching, basic mouse support and two-finger
+scrolling. The project aims at improving the quality of current multi-touch
+functionality available in the synaptics X driver, and in addition
+implement more advanced gestures.

+Kernel CAPI Interface to Hardware Drivers
+-----------------------------------------
+
+1. Overview
+
+From the CAPI 2.0 specification:
+COMMON-ISDN-API (CAPI) is an application programming interface standard used
+to access ISDN equipment connected to basic rate interfaces (BRI) and primary
+rate interfaces (PRI).
+
+Kernel CAPI operates as a dispatching layer between CAPI applications and CAPI
+hardware drivers. Hardware drivers register ISDN devices (controllers, in CAPI
+lingo) with Kernel CAPI to indicate their readiness to provide their service
+to CAPI applications. CAPI applications also register with Kernel CAPI,
+requesting association with a CAPI device. Kernel CAPI then dispatches the
+application registration to an available device, forwarding it to the
+corresponding hardware driver. Kernel CAPI then forwards CAPI messages in both
+directions between the application and the hardware driver.
+
+Format and semantics of CAPI messages are specified in the CAPI 2.0 standard.
+This standard is freely available from http://www.capi.org.
+
+
+2. Driver and Device Registration
+
+CAPI drivers optionally register themselves with Kernel CAPI by calling the
+Kernel CAPI function register_capi_driver() with a pointer to a struct
+capi_driver. This structure must be filled with the name and revision of the
+driver, and optionally a pointer to a callback function, add_card(). The
+registration can be revoked by calling the function unregister_capi_driver()
+with a pointer to the same struct capi_driver.
+
+CAPI drivers must register each of the ISDN devices they control with Kernel
+CAPI by calling the Kernel CAPI function attach_capi_ctr() with a pointer to a
+struct capi_ctr before they can be used. This structure must be filled with
+the names of the driver and controller, and a number of callback function
+pointers which are subsequently used by Kernel CAPI for communicating with the
+driver. The registration can be revoked by calling the function
+detach_capi_ctr() with a pointer to the same struct capi_ctr.
+
+Before the device can be actually used, the driver must fill in the device
+information fields 'manu', 'version', 'profile' and 'serial' in the capi_ctr
+structure of the device, and signal its readiness by calling capi_ctr_ready().
+From then on, Kernel CAPI may call the registered callback functions for the
+device.
+
+If the device becomes unusable for any reason (shutdown, disconnect ...), the
+driver has to call capi_ctr_reseted(). This will prevent further calls to the
+callback functions by Kernel CAPI.
+
+
+3. Application Registration and Communication
+
+Kernel CAPI forwards registration requests from applications (calls to CAPI
+operation CAPI_REGISTER) to an appropriate hardware driver by calling its
+register_appl() callback function. A unique Application ID (ApplID, u16) is
+allocated by Kernel CAPI and passed to register_appl() along with the
+parameter structure provided by the application. This is analogous to the
+open() operation on regular files or character devices.
+
+After a successful return from register_appl(), CAPI messages from the
+application may be passed to the driver for the device via calls to the
+send_message() callback function. The CAPI message to send is stored in the
+data portion of an skb. Conversely, the driver may call Kernel CAPI's
+capi_ctr_handle_message() function to pass a received CAPI message to Kernel
+CAPI for forwarding to an application, specifying its ApplID.
+
+Deregistration requests (CAPI operation CAPI_RELEASE) from applications are
+forwarded as calls to the release_appl() callback function, passing the same
+ApplID as with register_appl(). After return from release_appl(), no CAPI
+messages for that application may be passed to or from the device anymore.
+
+
+4. Data Structures
+
+4.1 struct capi_driver
+
+This structure describes a Kernel CAPI driver itself. It is used in the
+register_capi_driver() and unregister_capi_driver() functions, and contains
+the following non-private fields, all to be set by the driver before calling
+register_capi_driver():
+
+char name[32]
+	the name of the driver, as a zero-terminated ASCII string
+char revision[32]
+	the revision number of the driver, as a zero-terminated ASCII string
+int (*add_card)(struct capi_driver *driver, capicardparams *data)
+	a callback function pointer (may be NULL)
+
+
+4.2 struct capi_ctr
+
+This structure describes an ISDN device (controller) handled by a Kernel CAPI
+driver. After registration via the attach_capi_ctr() function it is passed to
+all controller specific lower layer interface and callback functions to
+identify the controller to operate on.
+
+It contains the following non-private fields:

+			capi_register_params *rparam)
+void (*release_appl)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr, u16 applid)

+	applications with the device
+
+u16  (*send_message)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr, struct sk_buff *skb)
+	pointer to a callback function for sending a CAPI message to the
+	device
+
+char *(*procinfo)(struct capi_ctr *ctrlr)

+	the CAPI controller info table, /proc/capi/controller
+
+read_proc_t *ctr_read_proc
