The legacy Intuos codepath and tablet behavior (e.g. the 1st-gen Intuos Pro, Cintiq 27, etc.) would result in a BTN_TOOL_* event not being cleared to zero until the tool had completely left the sensing range of the tablet. Before the final "out of prox" packet would be sent, zero or more "in range" packets could be sent to indicate that a pen was still detectable but not within a useful distance. These "in range" packets were used by the driver to keep touch input disabled at greater pen distances. In addition to keeping the `stylus_in_proximity` flag set, the driver would leave the current BTN_TOOL_* marked as being in proximity as well. The new HID codepath also sets `stylus_in_proximity` based on the "sense" flag, but does not leave the current BTN_TOOL_* marked as being in prox. This information is potentially useful to for a future userspace-based palm rejection, so this patch modifies the driver to continue sending it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
