Subject: Input: elantech - fix semi-mt protocol for v3 HW
From: Benjamin Tissoires <[email protected]>
commit 3c0213d17a09601e0c6c0ae0e27caf70d988290f upstream.
When the v3 hardware sees more than one finger, it uses the semi-mt protocol to report the touches. However, it currently works when num_fingers is 0, 1 or 2, but when it is 3 and above, it sends only 1 finger as if num_fingers was 1.
This confuses userspace which knows how to deal with extra fingers when all the slots are used, but not when some are missing.
