The width/height is actually in the same unit than X and Y. So we 
should not tamper the data, but just set the proper resolution, so 
that userspace can correctly detect which touch is a palm or a finger.

I had a chat with Peter on Wednesday, and he mentioned that this is dangerous as Major/Minor are max/min of the width and height. And given that we might have 2 different resolutions, we would need to do some computation in the kernel to ensure the data is correct with respect to the resolution.

TL;DR: I don't think we should export the resolution there :(

KT, should I drop the patch entirely, or is there a strong argument for keeping the ETP_FWIDTH_REDUCE around?
I suggest you apply the patch, I have no idea why ETP_FWIDTH_REDUCE existed. 
Our FW team know nothing about ETP_FWIDTH_REDUCE ether.

The only side effect will happen on Chromebook because such computation have stayed in ChromeOS' kernel for four years.
Chrome's finger/palm threshold may be different from other Linux distribution.
We will discuss it with Google once the patch picked by chrome and cause something wrong.

Cheers,
Benjamin
