PATCH 1/1 psmouse - focaltech report finger width to userspace

Focaltech touchpads report finger width in packet[5] of absolute packet. Range for width in raw format is 0x10 - 0x70. Second half-byte is always 0. 0xff is reported, when a large contact area is detected.
This can be handled in userspace.

I am not sure this condition and the change in focaltech_process_packet are needed. The relative packets augment absolute one and we expect width not change so we can always report state->width (either updated or cached) and input core will drop dupes.

That's what I started from. Just added a report line. But this confused user space.
A touch packet reporting that a finger does not touch the pad together with width reported for same finger gets xorg-synaptics to ignore it. E.g two-finger scrolling becomes unusable. xorg ignores "untouch" event and when fingers touch again, cursor jumps.

So finally this solution looks clean and safe to report width only with abs.

I sent some versions of these to linux-input mailing list and to Mathias, but forgot to add Dmitry.

I added a similar patch to my ppa, with backport of focaltech driver for Ubuntu 3.19 kernel users. There are >500 installs. No issues reported.

Hi Dmitry,

I tested it again and it appears that you are correct. In previous versions I stored width of each finger in state->fingers[finger].width. And it confused everything up. Then I changed it to state->width, because there is only one relevant width.
Really duplicates are removed. I am sending v 2.
