Input: mt - document devices reporting more touches than slots
Some devices are capable of identifying and/or tracking more contacts than they can report to the driver. Document how a driver should handle this, and what userspace should expect.

|

Some devices identify and/or track more contacts than they can report to the
|
||||
driver. A driver for such a device should associate one type B slot with each
|
||||
contact that is reported by the hardware. Whenever the identity of the
|
||||
contact associated with a slot changes, the driver should invalidate that
|
||||
slot by changing its ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID. If the hardware signals that it is
|
||||
tracking more contacts than it is currently reporting, the driver should use
|
||||
a BTN_TOOL_*TAP event to inform userspace of the total number of contacts
|
||||
being tracked by the hardware at that moment. The driver should do this by
|
||||
explicitly sending the corresponding BTN_TOOL_*TAP event and setting
|
||||
use_count to false when calling input_mt_report_pointer_emulation().
|
||||
The driver should only advertise as many slots as the hardware can report.
|
||||
Userspace can detect that a driver can report more total contacts than slots
|
||||
by noting that the largest supported BTN_TOOL_*TAP event is larger than the
|
||||
total number of type B slots reported in the absinfo for the ABS_MT_SLOT axis.
