Re: [PATCH 1/3] Input: Fixed ABS_MT_TOUCH_MINOR scale factor in BCM5974 multitouch driver

Hi Friedrich,

The major/minor scales are following the aspect ratio of the device, and as such
it could happen that minor > major. Most userland drivers do not use the finger
width limits, which are estimates, but only the device axes limit, which are
accurate.

Also, we cannot have floats in the kernel.

I would consider a patch which tries to make the finger widths more accurate,
but all in all, I think this problem is best solved in userland.

Thanks,
Henrik
