3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Hans de Goede <hdego...@redhat.com> commit 8b23811535d2e1dd6abbe4ce6ea1edfd50ce72de upstream. NEW packets are send to indicate a discontinuity in the finger coordinate reporting. Specifically a finger may have moved from slot 0 to 1 or vice versa. INPUT_MT_TRACK takes care of this for us. NEW packets have 3 problems: 1) They do not contain middle / right button info (on non clickpads) this can be worked around by preserving the old button state 2) They do not contain an accurate fingercount, and they are typically send when the number of fingers changes. We cannot use the old finger count as that may mismatch with the amount of touch coordinates we've available in the NEW packet 3) Their x data for the second touch is inaccurate leading to a possible jump of the x coordinate by 16 units when the first non NEW packet comes in Since problems 2 & 3 cannot be worked around, just ignore them.
