Not exactly. The time interval was 5s, near enough the minimum requirement for this field (6.5535 s).

Again, the device I have never does any reset at the first touch, it just wraps the counter.
The problem is that when there is no event, we now that no events occurred since the previous timestamp, modulus 6.5535 seconds.

The curious thing is that this is not working on my kernel:
this is the output of the following printk:
printk(KERN_ERR "%s timestamp=%d value=%d dt=%d field->logical_maximum=%d !td->timestamp=%d\n", __func__, td->timestamp, value, dt, field->logical_maximum, !td->timestamp);

I know I cheated when I put "dt=%d" for an unsigned, but the fact is that the counter rolls back...
However, his construction works:
static void mt_compute_timestamp(struct mt_device *td, struct hid_field *field,
__s32 value)
{
__s32 dt;
if (value) {
dt = value - td->dev_time;
if (dt < 0)
dt += field->logical_maximum + 1;
td->timestamp += 100 * dt;
} else {
td->timestamp = 0;
}
td->dev_time = value;
}
> + td->timestamp += 100 * dt;
> + td->timestamp += !td->timestamp;
I don't understand the meaning of adding !td->timestamp. :/
> + } else {
> + td->timestamp = 0;
My particular device never falls into this case... So I never reset the timestamp.
This is problematic because we compute the timestamp on an unsigned, and the struct input_absinfo sends __s32... I'm afraid we will have some troubles after a long use of the device.
Anyway, many thanks for the review of this whole patchset!
Cheers,
Benjamin
