Today, the resolution of size axes is not documented. As a result, it's not clear what the canonical interpretation of this value should be. On Android, there is a need to calculate the size of the touch ellipse in physical units (millimeters). After reviewing linux source, it turned out that most of the existing usages are already interpreting this value as "units/mm". This documentation will make it explicit. This will help device implementations with correctly following the linux specs, and will ensure that the devices will work on Android without needing further customized parameters for scaling of major/minor values.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
