Hello everyone,

as mentioned earlier, I'm currently writing a multitouch input driver
for the Pixelsense (formerly Surface 2.0). It's now at a point where I'd
consider it mostly done, but a) I have very limited experience with
kernel drivers and b) there are some additional questions I have, so I'm
attaching the current state of my source code and would like to ask for
your comments.

Open question: it looks like just calling

input_mt_init_slots(poll_dev->input, MAX_CONTACTS, INPUT_MT_DIRECT);

in the initialization routine isn't enough. hid-multitouch doesn't seem
to use any other init commands, though, or did I overlook something?

Are there any other caveats of the input-mt library which I should be
aware of?

Thanks for your input, and best regards, Florian
Please inline the code as Benjamin noted. Otherwise, it's cumbersome
to comment on specific lines (please see "git help format-patch" and
"git help send-email").
I did review the core setup/lifetime/destruction code and it looks
good. But you need to fix several error-paths. If a core function
returns "int", you should check it for "r < 0" and then forward the
code. Don't overwrite it with EINVAL.
Furthermore, correctly free your memory. Things like this leak memory
(surface might be non-NULL):
  if (!surface || !poll_dev)
    return -ENOMEM;

I can do a more complete review for v2 if you send it inline. But
looks good overall.

Thanks
David
