[PATCHv2 2/4] psmouse: Ensure that the focaltech driver reports consistent coordinates.

From: Mathias Gottschlag
Date: Thu Feb 26 2015 - 18:20:43 EST


We don't know whether x_max or y_max really hold the maximum possible
coordinates, and we don't know for sure whether we correctly interpret the
coordinates sent by the touchpad, so we clamp the reported values to
prevent confusion in userspace code.
