It has recently been reported that the "heartbeat" report from devices
like the 2nd-gen Intuos Pro (PTH-460, PTH-660, PTH-860) or the 2nd-gen
Bluetooth-enabled Intuos tablets (CTL-4100WL, CTL-6100WL) can cause the
driver to send a spurious BTN_TOUCH=0 once per second in the middle of
drawing. This can result in broken lines while drawing on Chrome OS.
The source of the issue has been traced back to a change which modified
the driver to only call `wacom_wac_pad_report()` once per report instead
of once per collection. As part of this change, pad-handling code was
removed from `wacom_wac_collection()` under the assumption that the
`WACOM_PEN_FIELD` and `WACOM_TOUCH_FIELD` checks would not be satisfied
when a pad or battery collection was being processed.
To be clear, the macros `WACOM_PAD_FIELD` and `WACOM_PEN_FIELD` do not
currently check exclusive conditions. In fact, most "pad" fields will
also appear to be "pen" fields simply due to their presence inside of
a Digitizer application collection. Because of this, the removal of
the check from `wacom_wac_collection()` just causes pad / battery
collections to instead trigger a call to `wacom_wac_pen_report()`
instead. The pen report function in turn resets the tip switch state
just prior to exiting, resulting in the observed BTN_TOUCH=0 symptom.
To correct this, we restore a version of the `WACOM_PAD_FIELD` check
in `wacom_wac_collection()` and return early. This effectively prevents
pad / battery collections from being reported until the very end of the
report as originally intended.

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.
