Uff... I thought I actually tested it?!

It is trying to do something useful for multitouch. People actually
use multitouch on HTC dream. I guess I can strip it from version being
merged...

It is not, but this should not trigger. Converted to static fake_pdata.

I figured out BUS_I2C. Anything else I need to set?

Ok.

Ok, what is the recommended protocol for multitouch? Should I strip it
out from merge version?

I guess we'll just strip polling version for now?

Well, there's no other hardware from synaptics in those machines :-).
