Right, I'm not an expert in input but after asking a colleague he
explained to me that user-space input drivers deal with the MT tracking
for you, but there is still a single event code reported (BTN_LEFT) as an
indication that the touchpad has been physically clicked. That's why you
are having right click even when the hardware is not reporting it.
You can confirm that by running plain evdev or by clicking on the touchpad
using an object (e.g: a pencil) so ABS_MT_* events won't be reported.

Yes but still I don't like to use KEY_RESERVED for all the pins since some
of them are not really reserved. Can we agree on disagree here and after
Nick answer I can post as a follow-up patch after this series gets merged?

I guess there are other touchpads that have a different offset (e.g: using
the last 4 pins) so I think that is good as a way of documenting the
layout even if not strictly necessary for the driver.
But again, without proper documentation is hard to say so I'll let Nick to
answer that.

I use as a reference
