[PATCH] Input: zinitix: iterate contact slots by finger count

From: Thanh Nguyen

Date: Wed Apr 08 2026 - 01:19:31 EST


On affected devices (for example Samsung A3 2015), the value in
touch_event.finger_mask appears to behave as a count of reported slots
rather than a bitmask. Using for_each_set_bit() can then skip valid
contacts and break multitouch gestures.

Keep filtering by SUB_BIT_EXIST to avoid reporting shadow contacts, but
iterate from slot 0 up to min(finger_mask, MAX_SUPPORTED_FINGER_NUM).
This follows the maintainer feedback to treat the field as a possible
count while preserving the anti-shadow check.

Fixes: e941dc13fd37 ("Input: zinitix - do not report shadow fingers")

v2:
- Address maintainer feedback: do not revert e941dc13fd37.
- Keep SUB_BIT_EXIST filtering to avoid shadow contacts.
- Treat finger_mask as a slot-count bound and iterate 0..min(mask, max).
