Peter Hutterer 9ae15c6a45 pad: be more robust to kernel bugs of multiple EV_ABS
This is a workaround for a kernel bug with the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro
13: this device sends erroneous ABS_WHEEL events when pressing
buttons:

  - evdev:
    - [  0,      0,   1, 256,       1] # EV_KEY / BTN_0                     1
    - [  0,      0,   3,   8,      17] # EV_ABS / ABS_WHEEL                17 (+17)
    - [  0,      0,   3,   8,       0] # EV_ABS / ABS_WHEEL                 0 (-17)
    - [  0,      0,   3,  40,      15] # EV_ABS / ABS_MISC                 15 (+15)
    - [  0,      0,   0,   0,       0] # ------------ SYN_REPORT (0) ---------- +0ms

ABS_WHEEL to 17 then to 0 in the same frame. We should (and do) treat this
as a zero event and drop the 17 to the floor. Alas, we then generate a
ring event for the zero value despite our current value being zero
anyway. This again causes confusing behavior.

This is simple enough to work around, at least until the kernel is fixed
but also to prevent this happening in the future: warn if we get
multiple events and if so and the later event is zero, undo the axis
change state.

Closes: #1081

libinput

libinput is a library that provides a full input stack for display servers and other applications that need to handle input devices provided by the kernel.

libinput provides device detection, event handling and abstraction to minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput needs to provide the common set of functionality that users expect. Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating relative pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.

User documentation

Documentation explaining features available in libinput is available here.

This includes the FAQ and the instructions on reporting bugs.

Reporting Bugs

Bugs can be filed on freedesktop.org GitLab: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/issues/

Where possible, please provide the libinput record output of the input device and/or the event sequence in question.
