FWIW when I press to the bottom right of my touchpad, I do get
right-click functionality even with just BTN_LEFT specified in the
keymap. Magic. :)

You already documented that via comments though.

Maybe Nick can comment here.

That does not answer my question: Do all maxTouch touchpads (or
specifically that in Spring) need eight entries, padded with said
KEY_RESERVED? In my experiments using just six entries (i.e., until the
non-zero entry) worked okay - so does this T19 message have specifically
eight bits? Tegra used just four entries iirc.

Thanks for the explanations, I'll test those settings on Spring then.

Could you point me to what ChromeOS tree and branch I should be looking
at? For instance, the linux-next.git chromeos-3.8 branch did not have
any DT for Spring. Therefore my series is based on /proc/device-tree
rather than any ChromeOS source code.

Thanks,
Andreas
