Hi Benjamin, just pinging in hope of receiving some answer :) I am thinking of preparing another version of haptic support patches (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220114183152.1691659-1-acz@semihalf.com/T/) and if I could already start remodelling them based on your changes so that it is actually a haptic hid driver and not and API that would be great :) I am simply wondering when multitouch driver is going to be expressed simply by your changes. > > > Cheers, > > Benjamin > > > > > > [0] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libevdev/hid-tools/-/merge_requests/127 > > > > Benjamin Tissoires (12): > > HID: core: statically allocate read buffers > > HID: core: de-duplicate some code in hid_input_field() > > HID: core: split data fetching from processing in hid_input_field() > > HID: input: tag touchscreens as such if the physical is not there > > HID: input: rework spaghetti code with switch statements > > HID: input: move up out-of-range processing of input values > > HID: compute an ordered list of input fields to process > > HID: core: for input reports, process the usages by priority list > > HID: input: enforce Invert usage to be processed before InRange > > HID: input: remove the need for HID_QUIRK_INVERT > > HID: input: accommodate priorities for slotted devices > > Input: docs: add more details on the use of BTN_TOOL > > > > Documentation/input/event-codes.rst | 5 +- > > drivers/hid/hid-core.c | 280 ++++++++++++++++++++--- > > drivers/hid/hid-input.c | 330 ++++++++++++++++++++++------ > > include/linux/hid.h | 23 +- > > 4 files changed, 533 insertions(+), 105 deletions(-) > > > > -- > > 2.33.1 > > > > Does this patch series introduce the leaf driver support you mentioned > in the haptic review?

Hi Angela, FWIW, I got a public branch that has the multitouch changes at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/bentiss/hid/-/commits/wip/input-mt-v5 The logic in the multitouch processing is correct but it is missing a few bits IIRC: - suspend/resume doesn't unset/set the multitouch parameters (doesn't seem to be an issue on my devel laptop though) - scantime is not properly handled - width/height is not using the same path than hid-multitouch (and probably not reported at all) - hid-multitouch needs to be cleaned up to use the new core changes instead of re-doing stuffs itself I think that you should be able to experiment your hid-haptic changes already, and see if that is indeed easier to use than creating an API driver.
