  • [PATCH] HID: hid-multitouch: forward MSC_TIMESTAMP

    Computes and forwards the device timestamp according to the
    specification.

    Many devices use a 16-bit timestamp field, with a resolution
    of 100us, therefore rolling around very frequently (every
    6.5 seconds). To make sure there is no ambiguity, the
    timestamp reported to the input stack reset to 0 whenever
    the time between 2 received events is greater than
    MAX_TIMESTAMP_INTERVAL (1 second).

    Inspired from Benjamin Tissoires's patch here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1742181/, and changing the
    logic to resynchronize the timestamps to use received time
    instead of a potentially more fragile difference between
    the 2 deltas.

    Benjamin, any objections on merging this one for 4.15? I like it.

    Thanks,

    No objections from my side.
