Merge tag 'pinctrl-v7.3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrlgrafted
Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
"Core changes:
- Use the non-blocking mux_state_try_select() in the generic MUX pin
control back-end
- Free pin maps on pinctrl_generic_to_map() failure in the core
helpers
New hardware pin control:
- Qualcomm Maili TLMM SoC, PMG1110 PMIC, and Eliza LPASS LPI TLMM SoC
(this is for the low power audio, LPASS = Low Power Audio SubSystem
portions)
- Upboard support on top of the Intel pin controller
- Apple T6030 and T6031 support (just compatible strings)
- Samsung Exynos 8855 SoC
- Mediatek MT6858 SoC
- Rockchip RK3308B and RV1106 SoCs
- Airoha EN7523 and AN7563 SoCs
Improvements:
- Qualcomm TLMM GPIOs are unconditionally marked as wakeup capable
- Qualcomm improvements on top of the Qualcomm PDC (power domain
controller) irqchip improvements from tglx:s tree
- Qualcomm IPQ806x and IPQ9650 non-urgent pin grop fixups
- The NPCM8xx driver has been put into shape fixing many pin and
group definitions
- Some non-urgent Tegra 264 pin assignments are fixed up
- Some non-urgent fixups to Airoha AN7581 and AN7583 registers and
pin assignments, missing features etc"

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. A value of 0 +deactivates any debugging, 1 activates tracing of invalid samples, 2 activates +full tracing (each sample is being traced):: + + modprobe appletouch debug=1 + +or:: + + echo "1" > /sys/module/appletouch/parameters/debug + + +..
