[PATCH 4.14 004/251] Input: elantench - fix misreporting trackpoint coordinates

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Phoenix Huang <phoenix@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit be896bd3b72b44126c55768f14c22a8729b0992e upstream.

Some firmwares occasionally report bogus data from trackpoint, with X or Y
displacement being too large (outside of [-127, 127] range). Let's drop such
packets so that we do not generate jumps.
