[PATCH] bcm5974: report ABS_MT_PRESSURE

From: Ryan Hendrickson <hidden>
Date: 2017-12-01 17:19:58

Report ABS_MT_PRESSURE in the bcm5974 driver with the same data used for
ABS_PRESSURE.

Some touchpad improvements in recent versions of libinput, such as
pressure-based palm detection, will only work if ABS_MT_PRESSURE is
reported.

Please treat all of this with an extra grain of salt; this is my first real
foray into both evdev/libinput internals and kernel development. That said,
I have been running this patch on my daily-use MacBookPro5,1 for several
months, so I have reason to believe it's stable. It might not be the
‘right’ way to do this though; I mostly just copied the corresponding code
for ABS_PRESSURE, which from this[1] blog post I've inferred should have
the same values and range.

Patch was originally submitted as bug 197909[2], which can be closed if
this is accepted.

Hi, gentle ping? No rush on the review but it would be nice to know if I 
followed the right submission procedure and wasn't mistaken for a spammer.
