+1 and 3 finger touch shares the same 6-byte packet format, except that
+3 finger touch only reports the position of the center of all three fingers.
+
+Firmware would send 12 bytes of data for 2 finger touch.
+
+Note on debounce:
+In case the box has unstable power supply or other electricity issues, or
+when number of finger changes, F/W would send "debounce packet" to inform
+driver that the hardware is in debounce status.
+The debouce packet has the following signature:

+ byte 1: 0xff
+ byte 2: 0xff
+ byte 3: 0x02

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The packet format is exactly the same for two finger touch, except the hardware
+sends two 6 byte packets. The first packet contains data for the first finger,
+the second packet has data for the second finger. So for two finger touch a
+total of 12 bytes are sent.

+
+7.2 Native absolute mode 6 byte packet format
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+v4 hardware is a true multitouch touchpad, capable of tracking up to 5 fingers.
+Unfortunately, due to PS/2's limited bandwidth, its packet format is rather
+complex.
+
+Whenever the numbers or identities of the fingers changes, the hardware sends a
+status packet to indicate how many and which fingers is on touchpad, followed by
+head packets or motion packets. A head packet contains data of finger id, finger
+position (absolute x, y values), width, and pressure. A motion packet contains
+two fingers' position delta.
+
+For example, when status packet tells there are 2 fingers on touchpad, then we
+can expect two following head packets. If the finger status doesn't change,
+the following packets would be motion packets, only sending delta of finger
+position, until we receive a status packet.
+
+One exception is one finger touch. when a status packet tells us there is only
+one finger, the hardware would just send head packets afterwards.

end. Upon receiving an MT event, one simply updates the appropriate
attribute of the current slot.
+Some devices identify and/or track more contacts than they can report to the
+driver. A driver for such a device should associate one type B slot with each
+contact that is reported by the hardware. Whenever the identity of the
+contact associated with a slot changes, the driver should invalidate that
+slot by changing its ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID. If the hardware signals that it is
+tracking more contacts than it is currently reporting, the driver should use
+a BTN_TOOL_*TAP event to inform userspace of the total number of contacts
+being tracked by the hardware at that moment. The driver should do this by
+explicitly sending the corresponding BTN_TOOL_*TAP event and setting
+use_count to false when calling input_mt_report_pointer_emulation().
+The driver should only advertise as many slots as the hardware can report.
+Userspace can detect that a driver can report more total contacts than slots
+by noting that the largest supported BTN_TOOL_*TAP event is larger than the
+total number of type B slots reported in the absinfo for the ABS_MT_SLOT axis.
