41Selftest is meant only for hardware diagnostic purposes. It is not meant to be
42used during normal operations. Position data is not corrupted during selftest
43but interrupt behaviour is not guaranteed to work reliably. In test mode, the
44sensing element is internally moved little bit. Selftest measures difference
45between normal mode and test mode. Chip specifications tell the acceptance
46limit for each type of the chip. Limits are provided via platform data
47to allow adjustment of the limits without a change to the actual driver.
48Seltest returns either "OK x y z" or "FAIL x y z" where x, y and z are
