OK, so, I don't like this one either :-(

I perfectly understand that the previous code worked in the only case
where there is only one contact per report. But this patch assumes
that the contact ID will come right after the tip switch if I
understood correctly. This assumption may strike back in the future
(like mine did), so we should be smarter.

In hid-multitouch, we count the total number of mt fields, then divide
by the number of time we see ContactID. This gives us the number of
fields per touch, and we then have a hook called when we reach this
number of fields while processing the report.
It's not perfect, but it's generic.

If you have a better idea, I am all ears, but unless the FW guys can
give us some guarantees regarding the HID descriptor*, I think we
should go for the most generic possible solution.

BTW, what I dislike here is that I am pretty sure that if we take this
one, we will have to revert part of it to have a 2-steps processing.
Relying on the order of the hid fields is simply not possible in the
long term.

Cheers,
Benjamin

* even if they give some guarantees, I am not sure I will trust them :)
