Lenovo trackpoints are adding the ability to generate a doubletap event.
This handles the doubletap event and sends the KEY_DOUBLECLICK event to
userspace.

This now no longer fallsthrough to default. IMHO the best thing to do
here is add a new preparation patch which initializes known_ev to false
inside the while before the switch-case (together with the send_acpi_ev
and ignore_acpi_ev init). and then change this fallthrough to a break
in the preparation patch. You can then also remove the default case
altogether in this prep patch.

These 2 values are set as the default above the switch-case, please
drop these 2 lines.

This code duplicates tpacpi_input_send_key(), what you want to do here
is define a hotkey_keycode_map scancode range for new 0x8xxx codes like how this
was done when extended scancodes where added to deal with the new 0x13xx hotkey
event codes for the 2017+ models.
See commit 696c6523ec8f ("platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: add mapping for new hotkeys")
Despite re-using tpacpi_input_send_key() there are 2 reasons why we want
scancodes for these new "keys".
1. By adding the keys to the hotkey_keycode_map they automatically
also get input_set_capability(tpacpi_inputdev, EV_KEY, hotkey_keycode_map[i]);
called on them advertising to userspace that tpacpi_inputdev can actually
generate these keypresses. Something which is currently lacking from your
patch. Related to this did you test this with evtest? I think that the input
core will suppress the events when you do not set the capability ?
2. This allows remapping scancodes to different KEY_foo values with hwdb
entries.

Hans

Hi Hans,
Many thanks for the review.

Ack - that makes sense. I'll look at doing that.

Agreed. Will change.

Will look into doing this.
There was a reason originally I did it like this, but I can't remember what it was. I'll revisit it.
I did test with evtest but I ended up having to cheat as there's quite a few layers in userspace and I got a bit bogged down chewing my way through those (building them against the right headers etc).
I ended up using an already existing code to make sure it was doing the right thing in the driver - and then assumed that once the keycode was 'released', and the different user space projects updated per normal procedure, it would work. It's possible it meant I bypassed/missed this issue so I'll retry once I've made the updates.
