Henrik Rydberg cab7faca5e Input: MT - Include win8 support
The newly released HID protocol for win8 multitouch devices is capable
of transmitting more information about each touch. In particular, it
includes details useful for touch alignment. This patch completes the
MT protocol with the ABS_MT_TOOL_X/Y events, and documents how to map
win8 devices.

Daniel Kurtz a93bd154d8 Input: mt - document devices reporting more touches than slots
Some devices are capable of identifying and/or tracking more contacts than
they can report to the driver.  Document how a driver should handle this,
and what userspace should expect.

Henrik Rydberg e42a98b520 input: mt: Add hovering distance axis
Touch devices capable of hovering, i.e., fingers detected a
distance from the surface, are not supported by the current
input MT protocol. This patch adds ABS_MT_DISTANCE, which may
be used to indicate the distance between the contact and the
surface.

Henrik Rydberg 97065e033e Input: clarify the no-finger event in multitouch protocol
The current documentation does not explicitly specify how to report
zero fingers, leaving a potential problem in the driver implementations
and giving no parsing directive to userland. This patch defines two
equally valid ways.
