Currently, the synaptics driver puts the device into Absolute mode.
As explained in the synaptics documentation section 3.2, in this mode,
the device sends a continuous stream of packets at the maximum rate
to the host when the user's fingers are near or on the pad or
pressing buttons, and continues streaming for 1 second afterwards.
These packets are even sent when there is no new information to report,
even when they are duplicates of the previous packet.
For embedded systems this is a bit much - it results in a huge
and uninterrupted stream of interrupts at high rate.
This patch adds support for Relative mode, which can be selected as
a new psmouse protocol. In this mode, the device does not send duplicate
packets and acts like a standard PS/2 mouse. However, synaptics-specific
functionality is still available, such as the ability to set the packet
rate, and rather than disabling gestures and taps at the hardware level
unconditionally, a 'synaptics_disable_gesture' sysfs attribute has
been added to allow control of this functionality.
This solves a long standing OLPC issue: synaptics hardware enables
tap to click by default (even in the default relative mode), but we
have found this to be inappropriate for young children and first
time computer users. Enabling the synaptics driver disables tap-to-click,
but we have previously been unable to use this because it also enables
Absolute mode, which is too "spammy" for our desires and actually
overloads our EC with its continuous stream of packets. Now we can enable
the synaptics driver, disabling tap to click while retaining the less
noisy Relative mode.

Synaptics image sensor touchpads track 5 fingers, but only report 2.
This patch attempts to deal with some idiosyncrasies of these touchpads:
* When there are 3 or more fingers, only two are reported.
* The touchpad tracks the 5 fingers in slot[0] through slot[4].
* It always reports the lowest and highest valid slots in SGM and AGM
packets, respectively.
* The number of fingers is only reported in the SGM packet. However,
the number of fingers can change either before or after an AGM
packet.
* Thus, if an SGM reports a different number of fingers than the last
SGM, it is impossible to tell whether the intervening AGM corresponds
to the old number of fingers or the new number of fingers.
* For example, when going from 2->3 fingers, it is not possible to tell
whether tell AGM contains slot[1] (old 2nd finger) or slot[2] (new
3rd finger).
* When fingers are added one at at time, from 1->2->3, it is possible to
track which slots are contained in the SGM and AGM packets:
1 finger: SGM = slot[0], no AGM
2 fingers: SGM = slot[0], AGM = slot[1]
3 fingers: SGM = slot[0], AGM = slot[2]
* It is also possible to track which slot is contained in the SGM when 1
of 2 fingers is removed. This is because the touchpad sends a special
(0,0,0) AGM packet whenever all fingers are removed except slot[0]:
Last AGM == (0,0,0): SGM contains slot[1]
Else: SGM contains slot[0]
* However, once there are 3 fingers, if exactly 1 finger is removed, it
is impossible to tell which 2 slots are contained in SGM and AGM.
The (SGM,AGM) could be (0,1), (0,2), or (1,2). There is no way to know.
* Similarly, if two fingers are simultaneously removed (3->1), then it
is only possible to know if SGM still contains slot[0].
* Since it is not possible to reliably track which slot is being
reported, we invalidate the tracking_id every time the number of
fingers changes until this ambiguity is resolved when:
a) All fingers are removed.
b) 4 or 5 fingers are touched, generates an AGM-CONTACT packet.
c) All fingers are removed except slot[0]. In this special case, the
ambiguity is resolved since by the (0,0,0) AGM packet.
Behavior of the driver:
When 2 or more fingers are present on the touchpad, the kernel reports
up to two MT-B slots containing the position data for two of the fingers
reported by the touchpad. If the identity of a finger cannot be tracked
when the number-of-fingers changes, the corresponding MT-B slot will be
invalidated (track_id set to -1), and a new track_id will be assigned in
a subsequent input event report.
The driver always reports the total number of fingers using one of the
EV_KEY/BTN_TOOL_*TAP events. This could differ from the number of valid
MT-B slots for two reasons:
a) There are more than 2 fingers on the pad.
b) During ambiguous number-of-fingers transitions, the correct track_id
for one or both of the slots cannot be determined, so the slots are
invalidated.
Thus, this is a hybrid singletouch/MT-B scheme. Userspace can detect
this behavior by noting that the driver supports more EV_KEY/BTN_TOOL_*TAP
events than its maximum EV_ABS/ABS_MT_SLOT.

A Synaptics image sensor tracks 5 fingers, but can only report 2.
The algorithm for choosing which 2 fingers to report and in which packet:
Touchpad maintains 5 slots, numbered 0 to 4
Initially all slots are empty
As new fingers are detected, assign them to the lowest available slots
The touchpad always reports:
SGM: lowest numbered non-empty slot
AGM: highest numbered non-empty slot, if there is one
In addition, these touchpads have a special AGM packet type which reports
the number of fingers currently being tracked, and which finger is in
each of the two slots. Unfortunately, these "TYPE=2" packets are only used
when more than 3 fingers are being tracked. When less than 4 fingers
are present, the 'w' value must be used to track how many fingers are
present, and knowing which fingers are being reported is much more
difficult, if not impossible.

Synaptics makes (at least) two kinds of touchpad sensors:
* Older pads use a profile sensor that could only infer the location
of individual fingers based on the projection of their profiles
onto row and column sensors.
* Newer pads use an image sensor that can track true finger position
using a two-dimensional sensor grid.
Both sensor types support an "Advanced Gesture Mode":
When multiple fingers are detected, the touchpad sends alternating
"Advanced Gesture Mode" (AGM) and "Simple Gesture Mode" (SGM)
packets.
The AGM packets have w=2, and contain reduced resolution finger data
The SGM packets have w={0,1} and contain full resolution finger data
Profile sensors try to report the "upper" (larger y value) finger in
the SGM packet, and the lower (smaller y value) in the AGM packet.
However, due to the nature of the profile sensor, they easily get
confused when fingers cross, and can start reporting the x-coordinate
of one with the y-coordinate of the other. Thus, for profile
sensors, "semi-mt" was created, which reports a "bounding box"
created by pairing min and max coordinates of the two pairs of
reported fingers.
Image sensors can report the actual coordinates of two of the fingers
present. This patch detects if the touchpad is an image sensor and
reports finger data using the MT-B protocol.
NOTE: This patch only adds partial support for 2-finger gestures.
The proper interpretation of the slot contents when more than
two fingers are present is left to later patches. Also,
handling of 'number of fingers' transitions is incomplete.

Fuzz = 8 was chosen empirically by observing the raw position data

The Synaptics 2.7 series of touchpads support a mode for reporting two
sets of X/Y/Pressure data (advanced gesture mode). By default, these
devices report only single finger data, depriving userspace of the
nowadays ubiquitous two-finger scroll gesture.
Enabling advanced gesture mode also enables the multi-finger report,
although the device does not claim that capability. Up to three
fingers can be reported this way.
While two or three fingers are touching, the normal packet is
prepended by a reduced finger packet of lower resolution. From the two
packets (which do not represent the actual fingers), the bounding
rectangle of the individual contacts can be extracted. This
information is sufficient to perform scaling gestures and a limited
form of rotation gesture. The behavior has been coined semi-mt
capability, and is signaled to userspace via the INPUT_PROP_SEMI_MT
device property.

Lenovo S10-3t's ClickPad is a 2-button ClickPad that reports BTN_LEFT
and BTN_RIGHT as normal touchpad, unlike the 1-button ClickPad used in
HP mini 210 that reports solely BTN_MIDDLE.
In 0xc0-cap response, the 1-button ClickPad has the 20-bit set while
2-button ClickPad has the 8-bit set.
This patch makes the kernel only handle 1-button ClickPad specially,
and treat 2-button ClickPad in the same fashion as regular touchpads.
This fixes kernel bug #18122 and MeeGo bug #4807.

The new type of touchpads can be detected via a new query command
0x0c. The clickpad flags are in cap[0]:4 and cap[1]:0 bits.
When the device is detected, the driver now reports only the left
button as the supported buttons so that X11 driver can detect that
the device is Clickpad. A Clickpad device gives the button events
only as the middle button. The kernel driver morphs to the left
button. The real handling of Clickpad is done rather in X driver
side.

For configurations where Synaptics hardware is present but the Synaptics
extensions support is not compiled in, the mouse is reprobed and a new
device is allocated on every suspend/resume.
During probe, psmouse_switch_protocol() calls psmouse_extensions() with
set_properties=1. This calls the dummy synaptics_init() which returns an
error code, instructing us not to use the synaptics extensions.
During resume, psmouse_reconnect() calls psmouse_extensions() with
set_properties=0, in which case call to synaptics_init() is bypassed and
PSMOUSE_SYNAPTICS is returned. Since the result is different from previous
attempt psmouse_reconnect() fails and full re-probe happens.
Fix this by tweaking the set_properties=0 codepath in psmouse_extensions()
to be more careful about offering PSMOUSE_SYNAPTICS extensions.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
