[PATCH v2 3/5] Input: hynitron-cst816x: release gesture keys

From: Daniel Golle

Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 08:59:42 EST


The gesture key is reported with the value of the touch flag, so it
stays pressed once the controller stops reporting the gesture code
while the finger is still down. Report the press on its own and
release the keys the input core still holds down on the first report
that carries no gesture code. Keycodes above KEY_MAX are rejected,
as that release looks the key state up in the input core's key bitmap.

Fixes: c87a819bec86 ("Input: add driver for Hynitron CST816x series")

v2:
- reject keycodes above KEY_MAX and publish keycodemax only once the
whole array validates (Sashiko AI review)
