[PATCH RESEND 2/5] HID: multitouch: support getting the tip state from HID_DG_TOUCH fields in Apple Touch Bar

From: Aditya Garg
Date: Mon Mar 10 2025 - 05:12:51 EST


From: Kerem Karabay <kekrby@xxxxxxxxx>

In Apple Touch Bar, the tip state is contained in fields with the
HID_DG_TOUCH usage. This feature is gated by a quirk in order to
prevent breaking other devices, see commit c2ef8f21ea8f
("HID: multitouch: add support for trackpads").
