The "number of active slots" (ie slots with tracking_id != -1) can
also always be used to determine the number of touches.
Given 5 slots, each assigned a slot_id: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}.
Then:
(a) the active slot with lowest slot_id contains one valid position
(contact from SGM packet).
(b) the active slot with highest slot_id contains the other valid
position (contact from AGM packet).
(c) any active slots between these are "hidden", meaning that their
position data is stale, but they count towards the finger count, and
their tracking_ids stay valid.
The real benefit is what happens when fingers are removed. Let's say
there are 4 touches: {0, 1, 2, 4}. Now, if a subset of fingers was
removed {1, 4}, then the T5R2 method could actually identify that
fingers {0, 2} were still being reported.
Curiously if another finger were to get added at this point, it would
become the new hidden finger 1. This is just how the image sensor
works.
This patchset deduces what the firmware is doing in the kernel, and
T5R2 allows us to use the MT-B protocol to express this state up to
userspace.
