Re: [PATCH 01/01] Input multitouch: fix horizontaltwo-finger-scrolling on Sentelic touchpads

Apply the following change to the Sentelic touchpad driver:
report only the position of the first finger as absolute non-MT
coordinates, instead of reporting both fingers alternatively. Actual MT
events are unaffected.

This is a much simpler version of my patch. Basically, it makes little
sense to report both fingers alternatively, as long as it's non-MT
events. With this approach, storing coordinates of the previously
reported touch is not necessary. This patch is against kernel version
3.7. Works with a touchpad version STL3888_C0, very probably works on
all later version, and very probably does not impact any earlier
version. This patch has two effects:
1) fix horizontal and improve vertical scrolling, though maybe in a
coincidental way and 2) work towards making the non-MT absolute events
a purely legacy single finger fallback mode, without breaking anything.
