[PATCH] Input: synaptics - add support for ForcePads

From: Dmitry Torokhov
Date: Mon Sep 08 2014 - 12:55:33 EST


ForcePads are found on HP EliteBook 1040 laptops. They lack any kind of
physical buttons, instead they generate primary button click when user
presses somewhat hard on the surface of the touchpad. Unfortunately they
also report primary button click whenever there are 2 or more contacts
on the pad, messing up all multi-finger gestures (2-finger scrolling,
multi-finger tapping, etc). To cope with this behavior we introduce a
delay (currently 50 msecs) in reporting primary press in case more
contacts appear.

For now we are using DMI matching to detect ForcePads, hopefully we'll
be able to figure a better way down the road.
