Subject: Re: [PATCH 5/5] Input: elan_i2c - Correct the x and y trace number.

Hi Dmitry,

I double check with our firmware team and the SPEC, it looks like the subtract 1 just a misunderstanding.
So, the correct should not subtract 1. For example, if the touchpad x resolution is 2800 and x trace number is 20,
the pitch size of x should be 2800/20 = 140, not 2800/19 = 147.36.
