Thanks for the correction. It should be my copy issue.
The variable cyapa->electrodes_rx was used to store the real physical Rx electrode direction.
Because the Rx direction in the signal data map may direction for the physical Rx electrode direction.
so it must be rotated when read and use the signal data map data.
This variable was currently used in for read the baseline of the Gen5 trackpad device.
And also it was used by the application to help display the real signal map on the trackpad device.

Following is the correction of this code, I will submit the patch to fix this thanks.
-if (rotat_align) {
+if (rotat_align)
cyapa->electrodes_rx = cyapa->electrodes_y;
-cyapa->electrodes_rx = cyapa->electrodes_y;
-       } else {
+else
cyapa->electrodes_rx = cyapa->electrodes_x;
-cyapa->electrodes_rx = cyapa->electrodes_y;
-       }
