512 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5131 and 3 finger touch shares the same 6-byte packet format, except that
5143 finger touch only reports the position of the center of all three fingers.
515
516Firmware would send 12 bytes of data for 2 finger touch.
517
518Note on debounce:
519In case the box has unstable power supply or other electricity issues, or
520when number of finger changes, F/W would send "debounce packet" to inform
521driver that the hardware is in debounce status.
522The debouce packet has the following signature:
523 byte 0: 0xc4
524 byte 1: 0xff
525 byte 2: 0xff
526 byte 3: 0x02
527 byte 4: 0xff
528 byte 5: 0xff
529When we encounter this kind of packet, we just ignore it.

578The packet format is exactly the same for two finger touch, except the hardware
579sends two 6 byte packets. The first packet contains data for the first finger,
580the second packet has data for the second finger. So for two finger touch a
581total of 12 bytes are sent.

5977.2 Native absolute mode 6 byte packet format
598 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
599v4 hardware is a true multitouch touchpad, capable of tracking up to 5 fingers.
600Unfortunately, due to PS/2's limited bandwidth, its packet format is rather
601complex.
602
603Whenever the numbers or identities of the fingers changes, the hardware sends a
604status packet to indicate how many and which fingers is on touchpad, followed by
605head packets or motion packets. A head packet contains data of finger id, finger
606position (absolute x, y values), width, and pressure. A motion packet contains
607two fingers' position delta.
608
609For example, when status packet tells there are 2 fingers on touchpad, then we
610can expect two following head packets. If the finger status doesn't change,
611the following packets would be motion packets, only sending delta of finger
612position, until we receive a status packet.
613
614One exception is one finger touch. when a status packet tells us there is only
615one finger, the hardware would just send head packets afterwards.
