[PATCH v6 0/3] Input: support for STM FTS5
From: David Heidelberg via B4 Relay
Date: Sun Sep 06 2026 - 12:36:32 EST
Used on various phones. Minimal viable driver.
Includes device-tree enabling touchscreen on Pixel 3.
Also, tested on Xiaomi Mi 8 (device-tree is not yet inside the mainline).
What is missing:
- switching between AP and SLPI mode (to be able to wake up phone by touch)
- firmware loading
- anything above basic touch

Changes in v6:
- Enable only the multi-touch scan on FTS5 sense-on (0xff was wrong,
only 0x01 is needed. This broke Xiaomi Mi 8 toucschreen).
- Fixed Y-coordinate comments. (Dmitry)
- Corrected event[0] parsing. (Dmitry)
- Dropped checking < 0 on unsigned area. (Dmitry)
- Dropped unnecessary i2c writes after reset. Verified against
downstream driver. (Dmitry, Sashiko)
- Added pieces for supporting non-OF integration. (Sashiko)
- Shared input open/close into one impl. (Dmitry).
- Link to v5: https://patch.msgid.link/20260810-stmfts5-v5-0-0c737d929976@xxxxxxx
Changes in v5:
- 3.3V is analog, 1.8V is digital supply. Fix that.
- Name the error variables "err" (Dmitry)
- Use scoped_guard() for ->running, and only set it once the scan
mode has actually been enabled. (Dmitry)
- Use i2c_master_send() instead of open-coding a single-message
i2c_transfer(). (Dmitry)
- Drivers may report coordinates outside the declared min/max, so
remove the clamping. (Dmitry)
- BTN_TOUCH and INPUT_PROP_DIRECT are already set up by
input_mt_init_slots(..., INPUT_MT_DIRECT). (Dmitry)
- Let the input core track contacts: drop the touch_id/stylus_id
bitmaps and the hand-rolled BTN_TOUCH reporting, and sync the frame
once per interrupt with input_mt_sync_frame() instead of calling
input_sync() per contact event. The controller pushes contacts one
by one into the event FIFO and only resends the ones that changed,
so INPUT_MT_DROP_UNUSED is wrong here and is dropped as well. (Dmitry)
- Restore the FTS4 interrupts accidentally dropped by introduction of
FTS5.
- mode-switch-gpios isn't required with stmfts5. Some designs, such as
Xiaomi Mi 8, has no such GPIO connected and is limited to AP mode.
- Nit: updated example to use interrupts-extended.
- Nit: (maximum x/y coordinate reported + 1), corrected example.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260409-stmfts5-v4-0-64fe62027db5@xxxxxxx
Changes in v4:
- Wrap everything below enabling the supplies into stmfts_configure()
to avoid bunch of gotos to power off on error (Dmitry T.)
- Finished chip specific ops and removed is_fts5. (Dmitry T.)
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260403-stmfts5-v3-0-5da768cfd201@xxxxxxx
Changes in v3:
- s/touchscreen_pins/touchscreen_irq_n. (Konrad)
- Use interrupts-extended. (Konrad)
- Fixed rebase conflict against 8665ceb926ec ("Input: stmfts - use guard notation when acquiring mutex")
- Rename switch-gpios to mode-switch-gpios.
- Do not define properties in if:then: branches. (Krzysztof)
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260315-stmfts5-v2-0-70bc83ee9591@xxxxxxx
Changes in v2:
- Fix typo in the binding s/switch-gpio/switch-gpios/.
- Deduplacate allOf. (Rob yamllint)
- Add missing S-off-by. (Dmitry B.)
- Dropped irq-gpios as it's not needed. (Konrad)
- Correct x and y touchscreen area size. (Konrad)
- Correct reset introduction commit description. (Krzysztof)
- Partially implemented chip specific ops. (Dmitry T.)
- Separeted license naming cleanup into separate commit (Dmitry T.)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260301-stmfts5-v1-0-22c458b9ac68@xxxxxxx
