Hi Abraham -

Yes - the TM1217 is an RMI4 based module [I just got an email from a
f/w engineer confirming it is indeed RMI4].

We are currently working on submitting a new patch for our RMI4 based
driver to add some functionality based on Dmitry Torokhov's request
that we implement an RMI bus architecture. This is kind of a large
change and we had hoped our current submission for our RMI4 driver
would be added to the Kernel.org under a branch where every developer
could access it and then we could add in the RMI bus architecture in a
later patch. So it will take a while till we can make a new patch but
I have no problem if you want to try the existing patch out.

I have committed the latest version of the patch Christopher sent (sans
defconfig and gta01 platform changes that do not really belong there) to
synaptics-rmi4 branch of my tree on kernel.org. I branched it off 2.6.35
release so it should be reasonably usable.

Why don't you submit to drivers/staging instead of creating branch at Dmitry's GIT tree?

You can probably attract more developers and you don't need to rebase to latest kernel 
everytime.

Since it is an input driver it is easier for me to apply patches to my
tree instead of routing through Greg. I intend to keep that ranch at
2.6.35 unless we have to rebase.

Thanks.
