Input: synaptics - add image sensor support
Synaptics makes (at least) two kinds of touchpad sensors: * Older pads use a profile sensor that could only infer the location of individual fingers based on the projection of their profiles onto row and column sensors. * Newer pads use an image sensor that can track true finger position using a two-dimensional sensor grid. Both sensor types support an "Advanced Gesture Mode": When multiple fingers are detected, the touchpad sends alternating "Advanced Gesture Mode" (AGM) and "Simple Gesture Mode" (SGM) packets. The AGM packets have w=2, and contain reduced resolution finger data The SGM packets have w={0,1} and contain full resolution finger data Profile sensors try to report the "upper" (larger y value) finger in the SGM packet, and the lower (smaller y value) in the AGM packet. However, due to the nature of the profile sensor, they easily get confused when fingers cross, and can start reporting the x-coordinate of one with the y-coordinate of the other. Thus, for profile sensors, "semi-mt" was created, which reports a "bounding box" created by pairing min and max coordinates of the two pairs of reported fingers. Image sensors can report the actual coordinates of two of the fingers present. This patch detects if the touchpad is an image sensor and reports finger data using the MT-B protocol. NOTE: This patch only adds partial support for 2-finger gestures. The proper interpretation of the slot contents when more than two fingers are present is left to later patches. Also, handling of 'number of fingers' transitions is incomplete.
