Input: synaptics - fix 1->3 contact transition reporting
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Investigating the following gesture highlighted two slight implementation
errors with choosing which slots to report in which slot when multiple
contacts are present:

Action                 SGM  AGM (MTB slot:Contact)
1. Touch contact 0    (0:0)
2. Touch contact 1    (0:0, 1:1)
3. Lift  contact 0    (1:1)
4. Touch contacts 2,3 (0:2, 1:3)

In step 4, slot 1 was not being cleared first, which means the same
tracking ID was being used for reporting both the old contact 1 and the
new contact 3.  This could result in "drumroll", where the old contact 1
would appear to suddenly jump to new finger 3 position.

Similarly, if contacts 2 & 3 are not detected at the same sample, step 4
is split into two:

Action                SGM  AGM  (MTB slot:contact)
1. Touch contact 0   (0:0)
2. Touch contact 1   (0:0, 1:1)
3. Lift  contact 0   (1:1)
4. Touch contact 2   (0:2, 1:1)
5. Touch contact 3   (0:2, 1:3)

In this case, there was also a bug.  In step 4, when contact 1 moves from
SGM to AGM and contact 2 is first reported in SGM, slot 0 was actually
empty.  So slot 0 can be used to report the new SGM (contact 0),
immediately.  Since it was empty, contact 2 in slot 0 will get a new
tracking ID.
