[PATCH 1/9 v4] Input: synaptics - refactor y inversion

From: Daniel Kurtz <hidden>
Date: 2011-08-18 11:28:20
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: input (keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen) drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Dmitry Torokhov, Linus Torvalds

Synaptics touchpads report increasing y from bottom to top.
This is inverted from normal userspace "top of screen is 0" coordinates.
Thus, the kernel driver reports inverted y coordinates to userspace.

This patch refactors this inversion.
