Subject: [PATCH] Input: ads7846 - don't set ABS_PRESSURE when min == max

From: Benjamin Bara <[email protected]>

When the optional fields "pressure_min" and "pressure_max" are not set,
both fall back to 0, which results to the following libinput error:

ADS7846 Touchscreen: kernel bug: device has min == max on ABS_PRESSURE

Avoid it by only setting ABS_PRESSURE if the values differ.

What is the benefit of silently continuing without reporting pressure on
models that do support pressure readings, vs. using libinput's errors as
signal to adjust DT?

Hi Dmitry,

With the current implementation, libinput rejects the device [1] when an
optional device-tree field is not set, which leads to a "non-functional" device.
But you are right, silently continuing might also not be the best option...
I could provide a v2 where the maximum is set to a fallback value (~0) and a
warning is printed that the pressure is not set and therefore a fallback value
is used, to signal the user to adjust the DT.

What do you think about that?

Best regards
Benjamin
