Input: clarify the no-finger event in multitouch protocol
The current documentation does not explicitly specify how to report zero fingers, leaving a potential problem in the driver implementations and giving no parsing directive to userland. This patch defines two equally valid ways. Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
