Input: synaptics - decode AGM packet types
A Synaptics image sensor tracks 5 fingers, but can only report 2. The algorithm for choosing which 2 fingers to report and in which packet: Touchpad maintains 5 slots, numbered 0 to 4 Initially all slots are empty As new fingers are detected, assign them to the lowest available slots The touchpad always reports: SGM: lowest numbered non-empty slot AGM: highest numbered non-empty slot, if there is one In addition, these touchpads have a special AGM packet type which reports the number of fingers currently being tracked, and which finger is in each of the two slots. Unfortunately, these "TYPE=2" packets are only used when more than 3 fingers are being tracked. When less than 4 fingers are present, the 'w' value must be used to track how many fingers are present, and knowing which fingers are being reported is much more difficult, if not impossible.
