I will do it and let you know the status. Should I also test the machines with Fedora 23, or just go with Ubuntu OS? The XPS machines are shipped with Ubuntu.

I was discussing with Synaptics about that last week, and I was
planning on working on it this week. Looks like you got the patch
ready before me :)
I *think* the patch is valid, and should be carried in upstream and in
stable. I'd like to have a further look at it once you submit it
however before giving my rev-by.

Regarding the device list you provided, yes those devices should
reject the touch when the confidence bit is not set. These were
Windows 7 touchscreen and the spec was not very clear and we had to
tweak the code on a per-device basis.

I think I also have a few pending patches for hid-multitouch, but your
patch might supersede those.

Cheers,
Benjamin
