 This driver, submitted on behalf of Cypress Semiconductor Corporation and
 additional contributors, provides support for the Cypress PS/2 Trackpad.
 
-This [PATCH v4] version differs from my previous submitted version[2]:
+This [PATCH v3] version differs from my previous submitted version[1]:
 
   Patch #1 (cmdbuf to 8 bytes) and #3 (link in driver) are unchanged.
 
-  Patch #2 (main driver) changes, as recommended by Henrik Rydberg,
-  Dmitry Torokhov, and Dudley Du:
+  Patch #2 (main driver), as recommended by Henrik Rydberg[2]:
+  - use input_mt_assign_slots; drop cypress_cal_finger_id.
+  - enable 2-finger-only SEMI_MT; drop cypress_simulate_fingers.
+  - various code clean-ups.
 
-  - call input_mt_report_finger_count() directly; drop INPUT_MT_POINTER.
-  - #ifdef out all the CYTP_RELATIVE_SUPPORT code.
-  - convert CYTP_ macros to functions.
-  - propagate error return codes.
-  - fixed tp_res_y typo.
-  - list Dudley Du <dudl@cypress.com> as the primary author of the driver.
-  - additional misc cleanups.
+  Henrik, does patch #2 appear to properly use assign_slots and SEMI_MT as
+  you intended?  This SEMI_MT method does work (with 2 finger support only),
+  but I'm not clear why we wouldn't want to handle >2 fingers also, so ...
 
-  Patch #4 (selectable simulated multitouch instead of SEMI_MT):
+  Patch #4 (new) reintroduces simulated multitouch for up to 5 fingers
+  (#if CYPRESS_SIMULATE_MT), disabling SEMI_MT again.
 
-  - this is now #ifdef-disabled by default but needed for (older?) userspace
-    X/Unity-desktop which does not support the input_mt_report_finger_count
-    events (e.g. BTN_TOOL_TRIPLETAP).
+  If that functionality (support for >2 fingers) can be acheived in some
+  better way, please advise.
 
 
 Remaining known problems (assistance or advice appreciated):
 
-  - Patch #4 (simulated multitouch) does not work after rmmod/insmod, and
-    stops working after suspend/resume.  Restarting X fixes it in both
-    cases.  SEMI_MT appears to work normally in any case (per input-events).
+  - Multitouch >2 fingers does not work after rmmod/insmod, and stops
+    working after suspend/resume.  Restarting X fixes it in both cases.
 
-  - cypress_reconnect() doesn't actually work after suspend/resume, but
-    psmouse re-inits the driver after _reconnect fails.  Per Dudley Du,
-    this routine does work when physically disconnecting the device though
-    and its harmless regardless, so I am leaving it in pending further
-    investigation.
+  - cypress_reconnect() never actually works, so I disabled it; just let
+    psmouse re-init the driver instead, which works and is what was ending
+    up happenning anyway.
