    HID: wacom: Correct behavior when processing some confidence == false touches · 50229603
    Jason Gerecke authored
    There appear to be a few different ways that Wacom devices can deal with
    confidence:
    
      1. If the device looses confidence in a touch, it will first clear
         the tipswitch flag in one report, and then clear the confidence
         flag in a second report. This behavior is used by e.g. DTH-2452.
    
      2. If the device looses confidence in a touch, it will clear both
         the tipswitch and confidence flags within the same report. This
         behavior is used by some AES devices.
    
      3. If the device looses confidence in a touch, it will clear *only*
         the confidence bit. The tipswitch bit will remain set so long as
         the touch is tracked. This behavior may be used in future devices.
    
    The driver does not currently handle situation 3 properly. Touches that
    loose confidence will remain "in prox" and essentially frozen in place
    until the tipswitch bit is finally cleared. Not only does this result
    in userspace seeing a stuck touch, but it also prevents pen arbitration
    from working properly (the pen won't send events until all touches are
    up, but we don't currently process events from non-confident touches).
    
    This commit centralizes the checking of the confidence bit in the
    wacom_wac_finger_slot() function and has 'prox' depend on it. In the
    case where situation 3 is encountered, the treat the touch as though
    it was removed, allowing both userspace and the pen arbitration to
    act normally.
