So, you want the count to be accurate.
But, during these transitions, there is not enough information to
guarantee all of the following at the same time:
(1) finger count
(2) track_id
(3) finger position
Would you prefer an implementation that continued to report count (via
BTN_TOUCH*) correctly, but dropped down to 0 or 1 MT-B slots when for
these cases where it could not determine the correct position or track_id
to report?
It seems like it would be more work for userspace to handle this new way
than the simulated number-of-touch transitions, where the transient
states are all normal valid states.
