Let me refine the issue: It's nothing to do with drags, but rather any
time I push the touchpad hard to physically press the mouse button,
there's no release event.

"Soft" taps of the touchpad work fine, for single, double, or even
triple clicks:

However, "hard" pushes that physically depress the touchpad and activate
the physical button don't generate release events, so clicks and drags
never end.

Single hard click:

(BTN_LEFT value 0 not sent)

Perhaps commit "Input: atmel_mxt_ts - Set pointer emulation on
touchpads" is incomplete? However, without that applied, neither soft
nor hard click generate any kind of mouse button events, just BTN_TOUCH
which X doesn't seem to interpret as a mouse click.
