I may not be the most knowledgeable developer on Synaptics, but I think
I'm somewhat knowledgeable and I can't figure out what each of the
bitmasks does now. Since we now have many of them defined, could you add
documentation about what each means? For example, I don't know if
SYN_CAP_CLICKPAD is set in conjunction with SYN_CAP_CLICKPAD2BTN, or if
they are mutually exclusive. I also don't know what SYN_CAP_CLICKPAD2BTN
means anyways :).

I'm curious, are you basing this work on documentation or
reverse-engineering? Maybe you can't say :). It would be awesome if
someone at Synaptics would just release the documentation for these
advanced features already...

Thanks!
