Currently there are only two "tools" that can be specified by a multi-touch driver: MT_TOOL_FINGER and MT_TOOL_PEN. In working with Elan (The touch vendor) and discussing their next-gen devices it seems that it will be useful to have more tools so that their devices can give the upper layers of the stack hints as to what is touching the sensor. In particular they have new experimental firmware that can better differentiate between palms vs fingertips and would like to plumb a patch so that we can use their hints in higher-level gesture soft- ware. The firmware on the device can reasonably do a better job of palm detection because it has access to all of the raw sensor readings as opposed to just the width/pressure/etc that are exposed by the driver. As such, the firmware can characterize what a palm looks like in much finer-grained detail and this change would allow such a device to share its findings with the kernel.
