Hi Chris,

I've noticed crashes when using my x60t using a coreboot bios. When using
the pen I can produce a crash simply by tapping a few times. This
generates an event which has an idx of 0xc. This in turn crashes the
machine because the array access is greater than W8001_MAX_LENGTH. This
patch checks for bogus values and filters them in order to prevent crashes.
Thank you for submitting a patch in addition to reporting the issue.

I don't have an x60t system to test with. I wonder if your system
supports two finger touch or not. We at least have a bug in the code
since W8001_MAX_LENGTH should be 13 instead of 11. How come no one had
encountered that issue before?

I'm going to email a patch to the list. Please test it and let us know
your result. Maybe we still need your patch if your device doesn't
support two finger touch or the idx=0xc can't be fixed by
W8001_MAX_LENGTH=13.

Thanks,

Ping
