From af8036dd749fbf4e732161ff0f3874759b73be40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Tissoires Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2012 16:59:21 +0100 Subject: Input: introduce EV_MSC Timestamp Some devices provides the actual timestamp (hid_dg_scan_time in win8 ones) computed by the hardware itself. This value is global to the frame and is not specific to the multitouch protocol.
