drm/mediatek: Add missing IS_ERR check for ovl_adaptor platform devicegrafted
platform_device_register_data() can fail and return an ERR_PTR, but the
return value is used without checking, leading to an invalid pointer
being stored in ddp_comp[].dev and passed to component_match_add() and
mtk_ddp_comp_init(), which could result in a kernel crash.
Add an IS_ERR() check to jump to the error handling path on failure.

Michael +Hanselmann added support for the October 2005 models. + +Usage +----- + +In order to use the touchpad in the basic mode, compile the driver and load +the module. A new input device will be detected and you will be able to read +the mouse data from /dev/input/mice (using gpm, or X11). + +In X11, you can configure the touchpad to use the synaptics X11 driver, which +will give additional functionalities, like acceleration, scrolling, 2 finger +tap for middle button mouse emulation, 3 finger tap for right button mouse +emulation, etc. In order to do this, make sure you're using a recent version of +the synaptics driver (tested with 0.14.2, available from [#f2]_), and configure +a new input device in your X11 configuration file (take a look below for an +example). For additional configuration, see the synaptics driver documentation:: + + Section "InputDevice" + Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" + Driver "synaptics" + Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" + Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" + Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" + Option "LeftEdge" "0" + Option "RightEdge" "850" + Option "TopEdge" "0" + Option "BottomEdge" "645" + Option "MinSpeed" "0.4" + Option "MaxSpeed" "1" + Option "AccelFactor" "0.02" + Option "FingerLow" "0" + Option "FingerHigh" "30" + Option "MaxTapMove" "20" + Option "MaxTapTime" "100" + Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" + Option "VertScrollDelta" "30" + Option "SHMConfig" "on" + EndSection + + Section "ServerLayout" + ... + InputDevice "Mouse" + InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" + ... + EndSection + +Fuzz problems +------------- + +The touchpad sensors are very sensitive to heat, and will generate a lot of +noise when the temperature changes. This is especially true when you power-on +the laptop for the first time. + +The appletouch driver tries to handle this noise and auto adapt itself, but it +is not perfect. If finger movements are not recognized anymore, try reloading +the driver. + +You can activate debugging using the 'debug' module parameter.
