cover input: touchscreen: Add generic touchscreen softbutton support

Hi Dmitry,

Some touchscreens extend over the display they cover and have a number of capacative softbuttons outside of the display the cover.

With some hardware these softbuttons simply report touches with coordinates outside of the normal coordinate space for touches on the display.

This patch-series adds some generic helper code for supporting such setups, including support for triggering a led as visual feedback that a softbutton has been touched.

It also uses the generic helpers to add softbutton support to the edt-ft5x06 driver.

Can you please review patches 1-3 and if they are to your liking merge them ?

Note patch 4 is included mostly as illustration how this all can be used, I will submit that to the sunxi dt maintainers once the input bits have been merged.

Regards,

Hans

This generally looks fine to me, but I am wondering one thing. If the buttons are located at the origin of an axis, can we handle that case? I don't think you can unless you assume softbutton-max-? is 0 for the touchscreen. To put it another way, you have a gap from 1024 to 1084 which you can't express for buttons at the origin unless you do negative numbers.

I do not this this should be done in kernel: I do not see nay difference in softbuttons or sliders or circular controls or... They are not controller-specific and I think are better handled in userspace. We do that for Synaptics touchpads with softbuttons, we can do that for other controllers.

Also, what is or stance when there is no bezel and we sill want to have the softbutons (i.e. all Nexus phones and tablets)?

Maybe softbuttons is not the best name (I googled and it seemed to match), so first lets make clear what I'm talking about here, I wrote this patch-set for this tablet:

https://content.hwigroup.net/images/products_xl/157078/dserve-dsrv-9703c.jpg

I decided to make it generic, since it seemed to me that there will likely be other hardware which is similar (but uses a different touch screen controller) out there, so keeping this generic seemed best.

Now back to the kernelspace vs userspace solution question, if you look at the picture you will see 3 clearly marked buttons on the front of the tablet, outside of the display: menu, home and back. These are not buttons which get generated / drawn on the display when you touch the bottom of the screen, these are separate single-purpose buttons which happen to report presses via the touchscreen controller then via a separate hw mechanism.

If these buttons used a separate capacative button controller as used in e.g. capacitive numpads, say something like this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2PCS-TTP223-Capacitive-Touch-Switch-Button-Self-Lock-Module-for-Arduino-/131662428748

Then there would be no question that this belongs in the kernel. I do not see how these are any different really. These cannot be runtime re-configured, they are separate dedicated buttons which happens to report presses via the touchscreen controllers.

There also is the question of hardware description, no matter where we put support for this, we need some place were we describe the presence of these buttons to the software bits which end up dealing with them.

And we already have a mechanism for describing "fixed" hardware for a certain model machine / board in the form of devicetree. To me putting the hardware description for this anywhere but in devicetree makes no sense because then we start scattering the description of a single device-type over multiple places which seems like a bad idea.

And once we decided to put the description in devicetree, then dealing with this in the kernel becomes the logical thing to do.

Regards,

Hans

p.s.

One other example of buttons like these are those on the nexus one:

http://www.informatica.com.do/7BZ-PortalImageUpload/image/2010151059110.google-nexus-one-01.jpg

Note I'm not saying this binding will work for those, I've no idea how they are hooked up, but they are the same in that they are really 4 dedicated separate buttons which happen to be part of the main digitizer.

p.s.

I've been thinking a bit more about this, trying to envision a reasonable user-space solution and I do not really see any. IMHO this really belongs in the kernel, and it is not a lot of code, the basic softbutton core is quite small, and the actually needed touchscreen driver changer are only a couple of line, so it is not like doing this in the kernel is a hassle, where as doing this in userspace will be a hassle.

This generally looks fine to me, but I am wondering one thing. If the buttons are located at the origin of an axis, can we handle that case? I don't think you can unless you assume softbutton-max-? is 0 for the touchscreen. To put it another way, you have a gap from 1024 to 1084 which you can't express for buttons at the origin unless you do negative numbers.

Actually for the touchscreen I'm working on:

https://content.hwigroup.net/images/products_xl/157078/dserve-dsrv-9703c.jpg

The buttons are past the display edge which corresponds to x coordinate 0, so they should logically send negative coordinates but the "firmware" (which I believe is more config / calibration data) maps them to coordinates above 1024, so logically across the other edge. But I can envision some other hardware doing this differently. I suggest we deal with this when we need too, likely we just need to add a note that the dt min/max values should be interpreted as a s32 rather then an u32, I can do that now if you want.

Hans
