Pull input subsystem updates from Dmitry Torokhov: - a big update from Mauro converting input documentation to ReST format - Synaptics PS/2 is now aware of SMBus companion devices, which means that we can now use native RMI4 protocol to handle touchpads, instead of relying on legacy PS/2 mode. - we removed support from BMA180 accelerometer from input devices as it is now handled properly by IIO - update to TSC2007 to corretcly report pressure - other miscellaneous driver fixes. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input: (152 commits) Input: ar1021_i2c - use BIT to check for a bit Input: twl4030-pwrbutton - use input_set_capability() helper Input: twl4030-pwrbutton - use correct device for irq request Input: ar1021_i2c - enable touch mode during open Input: add uinput documentation dt-bindings: input: add bindings document for ar1021_i2c driver dt-bindings: input: rotary-encoder: fix typo Input: xen-kbdfront - add module parameter for setting resolution ARM: pxa/raumfeld: fix compile error in rotary controller resources Input: xpad - do not suggest writing to Dominic Input: xpad - don't use literal blocks inside footnotes Input: xpad - note that usb/devices is now at /sys/kernel/debug/ Input: docs - freshen up introduction Input: docs - split input docs into kernel- and user-facing Input: docs - note that MT-A protocol is obsolete Input: docs - update joystick documentation a bit Input: docs - remove disclaimer/GPL notice Input: fix "Game console" heading level in joystick documentation Input: rotary-encoder - remove references to platform data from docs Input: move documentation for Amiga CD32 ...

+Crystal SoundFusion CS4610/CS4612/CS461 joystick
+================================================
+
+This is a new low-level driver to support analog joystick attached to
+Crystal SoundFusion CS4610/CS4612/CS4615. This code is based upon
+Vortex/Solo drivers as an example of decoration style, and ALSA
+0.5.8a kernel drivers as an chipset documentation and samples.
+
+This version does not have cooked mode support; the basic code
+is present here, but have not tested completely. The button analysis
+is completed in this mode, but the axis movement is not.
+
+Raw mode works fine with analog joystick front-end driver and cs461x
+driver as a backend. I've tested this driver with CS4610, 4-axis and
+4-button joystick; I mean the jstest utility. Also I've tried to
+play in xracer game using joystick, and the result is better than
+keyboard only mode.
+
+The sensitivity and calibrate quality have not been tested; the two
+reasons are performed: the same hardware cannot work under Win95 (blue
+screen in VJOYD); I have no documentation on my chip; and the existing
+behavior in my case was not raised the requirement of joystick calibration.
+So the driver have no code to perform hardware related calibration.
+
+This driver have the basic support for PCI devices only; there is no
+ISA or PnP ISA cards supported.
+
+The driver works with ALSA drivers simultaneously. For example, the xracer
+uses joystick as input device and PCM device as sound output in one time.
+There are no sound or input collisions detected. The source code have
+comments about them; but I've found the joystick can be initialized
+separately of ALSA modules. So, you can use only one joystick driver
+without ALSA drivers. The ALSA drivers are not needed to compile or
+run this driver.
+
+There are no debug information print have been placed in source, and no
+specific options required to work this driver. The found chipset parameters
+are printed via printk(KERN_INFO "..."), see the /var/log/messages to
+inspect cs461x: prefixed messages to determine possible card detection
+errors.
+
+Regards,
+Viktor
