[PATCH 4/5] Input: imagis - add support for the IST40xx touch reporting format
From: Markuss Broks via B4 Relay
Date: Fri Aug 21 2026 - 17:31:12 EST
From: Markuss Broks <markuss.broks@xxxxxxxxx>
Chips of the Imagis IST40xx family share the register interface and the
coordinate format with IST3038C, but report touches differently: the
per-contact records are 8 bytes apart, and instead of pairing the record
index with a "pressed" bitmask from the interrupt message, each record
carries a hardware-assigned touch ID (1-based, bits 31:28) and an event
type (press or release, bits 27:24). The event type occupies the bits
which hold the contact area on IST3038C, and no contact area is
available in the coordinate word.
Add an IMAGIS_PROTOCOL_TOUCH_EVENTS variant for this format: derive the
contact slot from the touch ID instead of the record index, translate
press/release events into the contact state, ignore records with an
out-of-range touch ID or an unknown event type, and do not declare the
ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR axis.
