SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/7] HID: N-trig MTM Driver fix and cleanup patch 2
> -		case HID_DG_CONTACTID: /* Not trustworthy, squelch for now */

I squelched contact id because they don't actually track fingers, rather
contacts are reported spatially (seems to be from the bottom to top)
making this value useless for tracking (after all the user space tools
can count contacts since the start of the group).

See the "Finger Tracking" section in
Documentation/input/multi-touch-protocol.txt
When tracking id is incorrect its better to just leave it out.

Stephane put these here erroneously. He was working with a firmware
that didn't support the stylus at all when he made those observations.
These events are useful and should not be squelched.

See the rdesc for the device.
"Digitizers.ContactCount ---> Sync.Report"

As the last event sent by a mt group, that is already mapped to
input_sync(). If you don't squelch it, you don't need to implicitly add
the sync.

Stephane added the orientation to height, I can't comment about the
wisdom of pulling it.
