This patch set (against next) is intended to add support for synaptics

+Patches 4-7 add 3 finger support for image sensor touchpads.
Image sensors do not suffer from the finger tracking issues that plagued
the earlier "profile sensors", and which required the invention of "semi-mt"
(Semi-mt reports a bounding box around two fingers instead of the fingers
themselves). Instead, the image sensors report the actual positions of two
fingers using the same "Advanced Gesture Mode". This driver uses two MT-B slots
to report these two fingers to userspace. In addition, it will also report
-the total number of fingers using BTN_TOOL_*TAP EV_KEY events.
+the total number of fingers using BTN_TOOL_*TAP EV_KEY events. This behavior
+is documented in the multi-touch-protocol document.
+
Userspace drivers should be aware that the number of fingers reported via
BTN_TOOL_*TAP can be greater than the total number MT-B slots with non-negative
track_ids. Upon opening the device node, userspace should query the maximum
values supported ABS_MT_SLOT, and note the number of supported BTN_TOOL_*TAP
events.
-Patches 8-9 adds up to 5 finger support.
+Patches 7-8 add 4 and 5 finger support.
In fact, the image sensor touchpads actually track 5 fingers while reporting
just 2 finger positions. These patches add support for properly tracking the
