[PATCH 2/5] Input: zinitix - do not ignore non-moving fingers

From: Kaustabh Chakraborty

Date: Thu Jul 23 2026 - 15:28:59 EST


With the ZT7548 touchscreen present in the Galaxy J6, multitouch does not
work reliably. This is due to the fact that the driver reports fingers
only when their state is changed, so it's either placed against the
scren, moved, or drawn away from the screen.

The function which is responsible for this is zinitix_report_finger().
This function is called from the IRQ handler, under the following
condition:

if (p->sub_status & SUB_BIT_EXIST)
zinitix_report_finger(bt541, i, p);

This implies and ensures that every valid finger must have the
SUB_BIT_EXIST flag.

However, at the beginning of the function, it refuses to recognize any
finger if it has none of SUB_BIT_UP | SUB_BIT_DOWN | SUB_BIT_MOVE. This
excludes fingers in reports which do not move from the position since
the previous interrupt. Add SUB_BIT_EXIST to the list of valid bits.
