[PATCH v2 00/13] Hid multitouch rewrite, support os system multi-axis devices, take 2

[Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@redhat.com>]

This is a new version of my previous series with few improvements.
I also merged the patches Dmitry sent out last year regarding the
MT_TOOL_PALM. Dmitry, I kept your SoB lines, feel free to yell if
there is something wrong.

Compared to the previous series some highlights:
- no more changes in input-core (behavior changes I mean)
- I split out the creation of MT_TOOL_DIAL
- I also fixed the location of MT_TOOL_* declaration in the uapi
- the Totem now has a hint that it will be reporting MT_TOOL_DIAL
  (setting the min/max to MT_TOOL_DIAL tells userspace that this is the
  only possible value)
- MT_TOOL_PALM changes from Dmitry are integrated.

Regarding the last item, we had a discussion whether or not quirking
the devices. After some brainstorming Peter and I came to a possible
explanation on why Dmitry was the only one detecting those issues.

I never had a report of a Win8 touchscreen that does palm rejection.
And if you think of it, when you use a touchscreen, you carefully
place your hand so it doesn't rest on the surface. Well, things are
different with dual sensors like Wacom devices. You can expect the
user to rest his/her palm on the surface while holding the pen (or
your writing gets all wobbly which kills the purpose).

So if Wacom or Pen+touch devices are the only ones having palm rejection,
in the libinput/Xorg world, the userspace tablet driver ends up doing palm
rejection for us if it's not already filtered out by the kernel.

I am not sure about how ChromeOS or Android handle such situations, but
there is a chance this is what the ChromeOS team was experiencing.
Given that assumption, I think we are safer to just keep the workaround
for all devices, knowing that it will only be triggered for a few devices.

Cheers,
Benjamin
