Subject: HID: multitouch: enable palm rejection for Windows Precision Touchpad

From: Allen Hung <allen_hung@dell.com>

commit 6dd2e27a103d716921cc4a1a96a9adc0a8e3ab57 upstream.

The usage Confidence is mandary to Windows Precision Touchpad devices. If
it is examined in input_mapping on a WIndows Precision Touchpad, a new add
quirk MT_QUIRK_CONFIDENCE desgned for such devices will be applied to the
device. A touch with the confidence bit is not set is determined as
invalid.

Tested on Dell XPS13 9343
