HID: multitouch: fix input mode switching on some Elan panels
as reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108481 This bug reports mentions 6d4f5440 ("HID: multitouch: Fetch feature reports on demand for Win8 devices") as the origin of the problem but this commit actually masked 2 firmware bugs that are annihilating each other: The report descriptor declares two features in reports 3 and 5: 0x05, 0x0d, // Usage Page (Digitizers) 318 0x09, 0x0e, // Usage (Device Configuration) 320 0xa1, 0x01, // Collection (Application) 322 0x85, 0x03, // Report ID (3) 324 0x09, 0x22, // Usage (Finger) 326 0xa1, 0x00, // Collection (Physical) 328 0x09, 0x52, // Usage (Inputmode) 330 0x15, 0x00, // Logical Minimum (0) 332 0x25, 0x0a, // Logical Maximum (10) 334 0x75, 0x08, // Report Size (8) 336 0x95, 0x02, // Report Count (2) 338 0xb1, 0x02, // Feature (Data,Var,Abs) 340 0xc0, // End Collection 342 0x09, 0x22, // Usage (Finger) 343 0xa1, 0x00, // Collection (Physical) 345 0x85, 0x05, // Report ID (5) 347 0x09, 0x57, // Usage (Surface Switch) 349 0x09, 0x58, // Usage (Button Switch) 351 0x15, 0x00, // Logical Minimum (0) 353 0x75, 0x01, // Report Size (1) 355 0x95, 0x02, // Report Count (2) 357 0x25, 0x03, // Logical Maximum (3) 359 0xb1, 0x02, // Feature (Data,Var,Abs) 361 0x95, 0x0e, // Report Count (14) 363 0xb1, 0x03, // Feature (Cnst,Var,Abs) 365 0xc0, // End Collection 367 The report ID 3 presents 2 input mode features, while only the first one is handled by the device. Given that we did not checked if one was previously assigned, we were dealing with the ignored featured and we should never have been able to switch this panel into the multitouch mode. However, the firmware presents an other bugs which allowed 6d4f5440 to counteract the faulty report descriptor. When we request the values of the feature 5, the firmware answers "03 03 00". The fields are correct but the report id is wrong. Before 6d4f5440, we retrieved all the features and injected them in the system. So when we called report 5, we injected in the system the report 3 with the values "03 00". Setting the second input mode to 03 in this report changed it to "03 03" and the touchpad switched to the mt mode. We could have set anything in the second field because the actual value (the first 03 in this report) was given by the query of report ID 5. To sum up: 2 bugs in the firmware were hiding that we were accessing the wrong feature. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
