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.
BTN_MT_REPORT_PACKET
The driver presses this button to indicate the start of a packet of
finger data. The button is released after the whole packet has been
reported.
BTN_MT_REPORT_FINGER
The driver presses this button to indicate the start of a new
finger. The button is released when the 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. Therefore, a specific set of ABS_MT events is used instead.
