I'm sending a patch that does both things. I think this one should be
used instead. I misread this http://kerneltrap.org/node/11765 . I
missed "perhaps with just _trivial_ changes to make it compile".

Thanks for pointing it out.

Well, nothing from linux-input. In LKML Andrew Morton just told us to
fix a few things. I think it is a good thing that nobody has told us
that we suck, not yet :-)

We need to submit code that actually uses the filters before they
accept the patches upstream. Right now s3c2410_ts.c and mach-gta02.c
come to my mind (I am not aware of the dependencies).
