[patch 15/17] input: add a detailed multi-touch finger data report protocol

[akpm]

From: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se>

In order to utilize the full power of the new multi-touch devices, a way
to report detailed finger data to user space is needed.  This patch adds a
multi-touch (MT) protocol which allows drivers to report details for an
arbitrary number of fingers.

The driver sends a SYN_MT_REPORT event via the input_mt_sync() function
when a complete finger has been reported.

In order to stay compatible with existing applications, the data reported
in a finger packet must not be recognized as single-touch events.  In
addition, all finger data must bypass input filtering, since subsequent
events of the same type refer to different fingers.

A set of ABS_MT events with the desired properties are defined.  The
events are divided into categories, to allow for partial implementation. 
The minimum set consists of ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR, ABS_MT_POSITION_X and
ABS_MT_POSITION_Y, which allows for multiple fingers to be tracked.  If
the device supports it, the ABS_MT_WIDTH_MAJOR may be used to provide the
size of the approaching finger.  Anisotropy and direction may be specified
with ABS_MT_TOUCH_MINOR, ABS_MT_WIDTH_MINOR and ABS_MT_ORIENTATION. 
Devices with more granular information may specify general shapes as
blobs, i.e., as a sequence of rectangular shapes grouped together by a
ABS_MT_BLOB_ID.  Finally, the ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE may be used to specify
whether the touching tool is a finger or a pen.
