This patch is for Elan eKTF Touchscreen product, I2C adpater module. Signed-off-by: Scott Liu <redacted> --- Hi, v2 revision I have fixed some bug as your advise. 1. To target the mainline 2. No Android dependency 3. reuse those duplication code from Henrik's patchset. (input_mt_sync_frame() / input_mt_get_slot_by_key())Just a quick run through the code, so: - please remove polling support, it is not useful in production;OK.quoted
- why do you need a separate probe work instead of doing what you need in elants_probe()will fix.quoted
- it is not a good idea to register input device first and then allocating memory for MT handling.Ooop...will fix.quoted
- I do not understand why kfifo is neededThe firmware and the host would conflict by read command and finger report simultaneously. So I'm simply using kfifo in IRQ thread function. * read command: writing 4 bytes commands and the device asserts GPIO interrupt and then response 4 bytes data. There was an error if we do not use kfifo: With heavy loading by finger report / read command, the driver may get finger report as response data. So, do you understand my meaning?
No I don't. Most of my confusion stems from the fact that you only put data into kfifo but not actually use it anywhere. You do fetch the data in your "drop old" function, but that data is just dropped. So I really do not see the point. Thanks. -- Dmitry
