Input: clarify the no-finger event in multitouch protocol
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The current documentation does not explicitly specify how to report
zero fingers, leaving a potential problem in the driver implementations
and giving no parsing directive to userland. This patch defines two
equally valid ways.

Here is the sequence after lifting one of the fingers:

ABS_MT_POSITION_X
ABS_MT_POSITION_Y
SYN_MT_REPORT
SYN_REPORT

And here is the sequence after lifting the remaining finger:

SYN_MT_REPORT
SYN_REPORT

If the driver reports one of BTN_TOUCH or ABS_PRESSURE in addition to the
ABS_MT events, the last SYN_MT_REPORT event may be omitted. Otherwise, the
last SYN_REPORT will be dropped by the input core, resulting in no
zero-finger event reaching userland.
