The return value of alps_get_pkt_id_ss4_v2() should really be "enum
SS4_PACKET_ID", not "unsigned char". Correct this.
Also, most of the Alps SS5 (SS4 v2) packet byte parsing code is implemented
using macros, but there are a few places where bytes are directly
manipulated in alps.c. For consistency, migrate the rest of these to
macros.

The current Alps SS5 (SS4 v2) code generates bogus TouchPad events when
TrackStick packets are processed.
This causes the xorg synaptics driver to print
"unable to find touch point 0" and
"BUG: triggered 'if (priv->num_active_touches > priv->num_slots)'"
messages. It also causes unexpected TouchPad button release and re-click
event sequences if the TrackStick is moved while holding a TouchPad
button.
This commit corrects the problem by adjusting alps_process_packet_ss4_v2()
so that it only sends TrackStick reports when processing TrackStick
packets.

commit 92bac83dd7 ("Input: alps - non interleaved V2 dualpoint has

Later we limited this to Dell laptops only because of reports that this
broke things on non Dell laptops. Now it turns out that this breaks things
on the Dell Latitude D600 too. So it seems that only the Dell Latitude
D420/430/620/630, which all share the same touchpad / stick combo,
have these separate bits.
This patch limits the checking of the separate bits to only these models

On some v7 devices (e.g. Lenovo-E550) the deltas reported are typically
only in the 0-1 range dividing this by 2 results in a range of 0-0.
And even for v7 devices where this does not lead to making the trackstick
entirely unusable, it makes it twice as slow as before we added v7 support
and were using the ps/2 mouse emulation of the dual point setup.
If some kind of generic slowdown is actually necessary for some devices,

On v7 touchpads sometimes when 2 fingers are moved down on the touchpad
until they "fall of" the touchpad, the second touch will report 0 for y

rather then reporting 0, 0 as is expected for a non touching finger.

All alps semi-mt touchpads give us the following data when 2 (or more)
fingers are touching: 1 more or less accurate touch for the first finger
down, and a bitmap with columns and rows in which 1 or more fingers are
seen resulting in a crude (low res) bounding box.
So far for v3, rushmore and v4 touchpads we've been reporting the
coordinates of 2 opposite corners of the box when 2 fingers are touching.
Ignoring the much better resolution data given in the normal position
packet.
This commit actually uses this data for the first touch, figures out which
corner of the bounding box is closest to the first touch, and reports the
coordinates of the opposite corner for the second touch, resulting in
much better data for the first touch and for the single touch
pointer-emulation events.
This approach is similar to the one in alps_process_bitmap_dolphin, that
function takes the single accurate touch info, calculates the distance to
the center of the bounding box, and then puts the 2nd touch mirrored to
the center. The downside of that approach is that if both touches move
slowly in the same direction, the bounding box will stay the same for a
while (as it is low res) and the second touch will thus been seen moving
in the opposite direction until the bounding box actually changes, and
then the second touch snaps to its new position resulting in a saw tooth
pattern in the coordinates for the second touch, hence this new approach.
This commit fixes 2 finger scrolling being choppy / jumpy on these
touchpads.

1) Decode bitmap packet

Non interleaved V2 dualpoint touchpad / stick combos have separate stick
button bits in the touchpad packets, if we do not check these then the

when the user starts using the touchpad will report a release event even
though the button is still pressed.
This commit fixes this by checking the separate bits, note that we simply
combine the buttons, since the hardware does the same when using the touchpad
buttons with the trackpoint, so we do not have enough information to properly
separate them.

When the left touchpad button gets pressed, and then the trackpoint is
moved, and then the button is released, the following happens:
1) touchpad packet is received, touchpad evdev node reports BTN_LEFT 1
2) pointing stick packet is received, the hw will report a BTN_LEFT 1 in
this packet because when the trackstick is active it communicates the
combined touchpad + pointing stick buttons in the trackstick packet,
since alps_report_bare_ps2_packet passes NULL (*) for the dev2 parameter
to alps_report_buttons the combining is not detected and the
pointing stick evdev node will also report BTN_LEFT 1
3) on release of the button a pointing stick packet with BTN_LEFT 0 is
received and the pointing stick evdev node will report BTN_LEFT 0
Note how because of the passing as NULL for dev2 the touchpad evdev node
will never send BTN_LEFT 0 in this scenario leading to a stuck mouse button.
This is a regression in 4.0 introduced by commit 04aae283ba
("Input: ALPS - do not mix trackstick and external PS/2 mouse data")
This commit fixes this by passing in the touchpad evdev as dev2 parameter
when calling alps_report_buttons for the pointingstick on alps v2 devices,
so that alps_report_buttons correctly detect that we're already reporting
the button as pressed via the touchpad evdev node, and will also send the
release event there.

On V2 devices the DualPoint Stick reports bare packets, these should be

Note that since there is no way to distinguish these packets from an external

Previously dev2 device was used for both external PS/2 mouse and internal
trackstick device (if available). This change introduces dev3 device which
is used for external PS/2 mouse data and dev2 is now used only for
trackstick.
In case that trackstick is not present dev2 is not created, so userspace
does not see non existent device in system.
Because laptops with ALPS devices often do not use i8042 active
multiplexing all data (from touchpad, trackstick and external PS/2 mouse)
come to one port. So it is not possible to know if external PS/2 mouse is
connected or not. In most cases external PS/2 mouse is not connected so
driver will create dev3 input device after first bare PS/2 packet will be
received. So there will not be "ghost" input device.
This change also helps in identifying possible problems in future if driver

Some devices are not fast enough to differentiate between a fast-moving
contact and a new contact. This problem cannot be fully resolved because
information is truly missing, but it is possible to safe-guard against
obvious mistakes by restricting movement with a maximum displacement.
The new problem formulation for dmax > 0 cannot benefit from the speedup
for positive definite matrices, but since the convergence is faster, the
result is about the same. For a handful of contacts, the latency difference

Protocol v7 uses the middle / right button bits on clickpads to communicate
"location" information of a 3th touch (and possible 4th) touch on
clickpads.
Specifically when 3 touches are down, if one of the 3 touches is in the
left / right button area, this will get reported in the middle / right
button bits and the touchpad will still send a TWO type packet rather then
a MULTI type packet, so when this happens we must add the finger reported
in the button area to the finger count.
Likewise we must also add fingers reported this way to the finger count
when we get MULTI packets.

The v7 proto differentiates between a primary touch (with high precision)
and a secondary touch (with lower precision). Normally when 2 fingers are
down and one is lifted the still present touch becomes the primary touch,
but some traces have shown that this does not happen always.
This commit deals with this by making alps_get_mt_count() not stop at the
first empty mt slot, and if a touch is present in mt[1] and not mt[0]
moving the data to mt[0] (for input_mt_assign_slots).

NEW packets are send to indicate a discontinuity in the finger coordinate
reporting. Specifically a finger may have moved from slot 0 to 1 or vice
versa. INPUT_MT_TRACK takes care of this for us.
NEW packets have 3 problems:
1) They do not contain middle / right button info (on non clickpads)
this can be worked around by preserving the old button state
2) They do not contain an accurate fingercount, and they are
typically send when the number of fingers changes. We cannot use
the old finger count as that may mismatch with the amount of
touch coordinates we've available in the NEW packet
3) Their x data for the second touch is inaccurate leading to
a possible jump of the x coordinate by 16 units when the first
non NEW packet comes in
Since problems 2 & 3 cannot be worked around, just ignore them.
