RE: [PATCH] Input: Change BTN_TOOL_FINGER flag when hover event trigger

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for your confirmation.

I think the best and simplest way is to add below code to emit BTN_TOOL_FINGER if hover condition meets.

input_report_key(dev, BTN_TOOL_FINGER, input_mt_get_value(dev, ABS_DISTANCE));

Is it ok for you?

	if (use_count) {
		if (count == 0 &&
		    !test_bit(ABS_MT_DISTANCE, dev->absbit) &&
		    test_bit(ABS_DISTANCE, dev->absbit) &&
		    input_abs_get_val(dev, ABS_DISTANCE) != 0) {

			/* Emit BTN_TOOL_FINGER*/
			input_report_key(dev, BTN_TOOL_FINGER, input_mt_get_value(dev, ABS_DISTANCE));

			count = 1;
		}

Hi Dmitry,

I want to confirm my thought for your idea to avoid misunderstanding.
I think you want to encapsulate " BTN_TOOL_FINGER" in the [input_mt_report_pointer_emulation] if hover happen.
Vendor driver only report "ABS_DISTANCE" and let [input_mt_report_pointer_emulation] emit BTN_TOOL_FINGER report without change function parameter.

Please let me know if my misunderstand about your idea.

Yes, that is correct. Something like this:

diff --git a/drivers/input/input-mt.c b/drivers/input/input-mt.c index 54fce56..a1bbec9 100644
