Hi!

I've quickly checked it on my gt58 (bt532) but it made me remember that
on this device/chip it seems like only "TOUCH_MODE=0" is supported and
reported fingers don't have extra "width"/"angle" fields. (I have a
vague recollection that this was somehow related to touchkeys being
enabled or not) Otherwise on this chip (firmware? touch_mode?) the
finger count is indeed a count and not a mask. 

Given we have an EXIST bit IMO it still makes sense to make this change.
Maybe also worth adding a short comment why we're treating mask as
count if Linus's devices report mask and your/mine report count...
