STALE2863d

From: Peter Hutterer <hidden>
Date: 2018-12-05 23:03:47
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: input (keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen) drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Dmitry Torokhov, Linus Torvalds

ABS_RESERVED was added in d9ca1c990a7 and accidentally removed as part of
ffe0e7cf290f5c9 when the high-resolution scrolling code was removed.
