  BCM5974 Driver (bcm5974)
  ------------------------
  	Copyright (C) 2008-2009	Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se>
  
  The USB initialization and package decoding was made by Scott Shawcroft as
  part of the touchd user-space driver project:

  The BCM5974 driver is based on the appletouch driver:

  This driver adds support for the multi-touch trackpad on the new Apple
  Macbook Air and Macbook Pro laptops. It replaces the appletouch driver on
  those computers, and integrates well with the synaptics driver of the Xorg
  system.
  
  Known to work on Macbook Air, Macbook Pro Penryn and the new unibody
  Macbook 5 and Macbook Pro 5.
  
  Usage
  -----
  
  The driver loads automatically for the supported usb device ids, and
  becomes available both as an event device (/dev/input/event*) and as a
  mouse via the mousedev driver (/dev/input/mice).
  
  USB Race
  --------
  
  The Apple multi-touch trackpads report both mouse and keyboard events via
  different interfaces of the same usb device. This creates a race condition
  with the HID driver, which, if not told otherwise, will find the standard
  HID mouse and keyboard, and claim the whole device. To remedy, the usb
  product id must be listed in the mouse_ignore list of the hid driver.
  
  Debug output
  ------------
  
  To ease the development for new hardware version, verbose packet output can
  be switched on with the debug kernel module parameter. The range [1-9]
  yields different levels of verbosity. Example (as root):
  
  echo -n 9 > /sys/module/bcm5974/parameters/debug
  
  tail -f /var/log/debug
  
  echo -n 0 > /sys/module/bcm5974/parameters/debug
  
  Trivia
  ------
  
  The driver was developed at the ubuntu forums in June 2008 [1], and now has
  a more permanent home at bitmath.org [2].
