+ * This sensor sends two 6-byte absolute finger reports, an optional
+ * 2-byte relative report followed by a status byte. This function
+ * reads the two finger reports and transforms the coordinates
+ * according the platform data so they can be aligned with the lcd
+ * behind the touchscreen. Typically we flip the y-axis since the
+ * sensor uses the bottom left corner as the origin, but if the sensor
+ * is mounted upside down the platform data will request that the
+ * x-axis should be flipped instead. The snap to inactive edge border
+ * are used to allow tapping the edges of the screen on the G1. The
+ * active area of the touchscreen is smaller than the lcd. When the
+ * finger gets close the edge of the screen we snap it to the
+ * edge. This allows ui elements at the edge of the screen to be hit,
+ * and it prevents hitting ui elements that are not at the edge of the
+ * screen when the finger is touching the edge.
