Newer multitouch Synaptics trackpads do not advertise multifinger
support. Now that we have multitouch support, we can use the number of
touches to report multifinger functionality.

In conjunction with the X synaptics input module, this enables
functionality such as two finger scrolling.

In this area of code, its not as obvious your relying on MT packets to always come before standard packets. I think its worth a comment here or below on why your initialising priv->num_fingers at bottom of processing instead of at top of processing.

It will also help explain to reader why mt_sync events work out as expected.
