Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] HID: alps: Refactor axis resolution logic

Well, at that point it's something you should talk to hid maintainers
about. The base patch is already submitted and scheduled for 5.7 as
it's enough to make this touchpad work. The second one is mainly
necessary to fix the deadzones around the corners and that was the one
to review. If you prefer to not have any major refactoring until you
prepare a better patch, I'm okay with that, since we can workaround
the resolution issue via libinput quirks for now.

> 1. Do you mean that we can't use AUI1657 because there are already drivers which do that (and I'm sure there are not) or that there are more devices using 0x121E?
> 2. The second instance of product ID is not used anywhere in the code at least for U1 so I didn't see any point to add another unused value that replicates the previous one.
> 3. I obviously don't have any internal documentation to argue with that, but you have mentioned above that aui1657 is just another panel based on U1, Apart from that, the touchpad is fully functional with the current code submitted which wouldn't make any sense if the report IDs were wrong.
