Thanks, that won't be necessary.

I looked through the the patchset, and it strikes me as mostly renames without
deeper explanations, which all in all puts them in the not-needed category, I am
afraid. An in-depth explanation could be added as a text block somewhere without
touching the current code.

The only patch that does something is the last one, and what it does could
easily be performed in userland, by further processing of the contacts there. I
therefore see no use for any of those patches in the kernel.

Is there a good reason for the first reaction to be to add special tweaks such
as this one in the kernel, rather than in a dedicated userland input system? I
am genuinely curious.

Thanks,
Henrik
