Hi KT,

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));
I do not see why we need to emit BTN_TOOL_FINGER event twice, once
here, and second time in input_mt_report_finger_count():

- If distance is non-zero (and all other conditions are true) then count
  will be 1 and will be calling input_mt_report_finger_count(dev, 1)
  which will result in sending EV_KEY/BTN_TOOL_FINGER/1 event.

- If distance is 0 then count will remain 0 and
  input_mt_report_finger_count(dev, 0) will result in
  EV_KEY/BTN_TOOL_FINGER/0.

which is exactly what we need as far as I can see.

Thanks.

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
