Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input

2018-02-01T18:49:58+00:00

Pull input layer updates from Dmitry Torokhov:

 - evdev interface has been adjusted to extend the life of timestamps on
   32 bit systems to the year of 2108

 - Synaptics RMI4 driver's PS/2 guest handling ha beed updated to
   improve chances of detecting trackpoints on the pass-through port

 - mms114 touchcsreen controller driver has been updated to support
   generic device properties and work with mms152 cntrollers

 - Goodix driver now supports generic touchscreen properties

 - couple of drivers for AVR32 architecture are gone as the architecture
   support has been removed from the kernel

 - gpio-tilt driver has been removed as there are no mainline users and
   the driver itself is using legacy APIs and relies on platform data

 - MODULE_LINECSE/MODULE_VERSION cleanups

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input: (45 commits)
  Input: goodix - use generic touchscreen_properties
  Input: mms114 - fix typo in definition
  Input: mms114 - use BIT() macro instead of explicit shifting
  Input: mms114 - replace mdelay with msleep
  Input: mms114 - add support for mms152
  Input: mms114 - drop platform data and use generic APIs
  Input: mms114 - mark as direct input device
  Input: mms114 - do not clobber interrupt trigger
  Input: edt-ft5x06 - fix error handling for factory mode on non-M06
  Input: stmfts - set IRQ_NOAUTOEN to the irq flag
  Input: auo-pixcir-ts - delete an unnecessary return statement
  Input: auo-pixcir-ts - remove custom log for a failed memory allocation
  Input: da9052_tsi - remove unused mutex
  Input: docs - use PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32() directly
  Input: synaptics-rmi4 - log when we create a guest serio port
  Input: synaptics-rmi4 - unmask F03 interrupts when port is opened
  Input: synaptics-rmi4 - do not delete interrupt memory too early
  Input: ad7877 - use managed resource allocations
  Input: stmfts,s6sy671 - add SPDX identifier
  Input: remove atmel-wm97xx touchscreen driver
  ...

Input: docs - use PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32() directly

2018-01-23T00:27:58+00:00

Instead of using PROPERTY_ENTRY_INTEGER() with explicitly supplied type,
use PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32() dedicated macro.

It will help modify internals of built-in device properties API.

No functional change intended.

Input: gpio_tilt - delete driver

2018-01-02T06:54:42+00:00

This driver was merged in 2011 as a tool for detecting the orientation
of a screen. The device driver assumes board file setup using the
platform data from . But no boards in the
kernel tree defines this platform data.

As I am faced with refactoring drivers to use GPIO descriptors and
pass decriptor tables from boards, or use the device tree device
drivers like these creates a serious problem: I cannot fix them and
cannot test them, not even compile-test them with a system actually
using it (no in-tree boardfile).

I suggest to delete this driver and rewrite it using device tree if
it is still in use on actively maintained systems.

I can also offer to rewrite it out of the blue using device tree if
someone promise to test it and help me iterate it.

Input: edt-ft5x06 - increase allowed data range for threshold parameter

2017-05-23T00:22:50+00:00

The datasheet and application note does not mention an allowed range for
the M09_REGISTER_THRESHOLD parameter. One of our customers needs to set
lower values than 20 and they seem to work just fine on EDT EP0xx0M09 with
T5x06 touch.

So, lacking a known lower limit, we increase the range for thresholds,
and set the lower limit to 0. The documentation is updated accordingly.

Input: xpad - do not suggest writing to Dominic

Do not recommend people write to Dominic, rather everyone should be using
linux-input mailing list.

Input: xpad - don't use literal blocks inside footnotes

2017-04-18T03:19:35+00:00

Unfortunately, Sphinx (or LaTeX) can't handle literal blocks inside
footnotes. So, just use normal text for the two literal code-blocks that
documents the output of /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices for xpad devices.

Input: docs - split input docs into kernel- and user-facing

2017-04-18T03:19:34+00:00

Split input documentation into several groups: kernel- and user-facing, and
notes about individual device drivers. Move device drivers docs into a
separate subdirectory.
