I observed the following problem with the BT404 touch pad
running the Phosh UI:
When e.g. typing on the virtual keyboard pressing "g" would
produce "ggg".
After some analysis it turns out the firmware reports that three
fingers hit that coordinate at the same time, finger 0, 2 and
4 (of the five available 0,1,2,3,4).
DOWN
Zinitix-TS 3-0020: finger 0 down (246, 395)
Zinitix-TS 3-0020: finger 1 up (0, 0)
Zinitix-TS 3-0020: finger 2 down (246, 395)
Zinitix-TS 3-0020: finger 3 up (0, 0)
Zinitix-TS 3-0020: finger 4 down (246, 395)
UP
Zinitix-TS 3-0020: finger 0 up (246, 395)
Zinitix-TS 3-0020: finger 2 up (246, 395)
Zinitix-TS 3-0020: finger 4 up (246, 395)
This is one touch and release: i.e. this is all reported on
touch (down) and release.
There is a field in the struct touch_event called finger_cnt
which is actually a bitmask of the fingers active in the
event.
Rename this field finger_mask as this matches the use contents
better, then use for_each_set_bit() to iterate over just the
fingers that are actally active.
Factor out a finger reporting function zinitix_report_fingers()
to handle all fingers.
Also be more careful in reporting finger down/up: we were
reporting every event with input_mt_report_slot_state(..., true);
but this should only be reported on finger down or move,
not on finger up, so also add code to check p->sub_status
to see what is happening and report correctly.
After this my Zinitix BT404 touchscreen report fingers
flawlessly.
The vendor drive I have notably does not use the "finger_cnt"
and contains obviously incorrect code like this:
if (touch_dev->touch_info.finger_cnt > MAX_SUPPORTED_FINGER_NUM)
touch_dev->touch_info.finger_cnt = MAX_SUPPORTED_FINGER_NUM;
As MAX_SUPPORTED_FINGER_NUM is an ordinal and the field is
a bitmask this seems quite confused.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
