Can you expand on this please, just to make sure I'm not misinterpreting
those codes? Those bits are just for how many fingers are down (but without
position), dropping those bits means you restrict the device to a pure
single-touch screen. Or am I missing something here?

then again, MT support has been in the kernel for long enough that by now
everything should understand it, so there's a certain "meh" factor.
