From: Jason Gerecke <jason.gerecke@wacom.com>

The current dropped packet reporting assumes that all sequence numbers
are 16 bits in length. This results in misleading "Dropped" messages if
the hardware uses fewer bits. For example, if a tablet uses only 8 bits
to store its sequence number, once it rolls over from 255 -> 0, the
driver will still be expecting a packet "256". This patch adjusts the
logic to reset the next expected packet to logical_minimum whenever
it overflows beyond logical_maximum.

Hi Jason,

thanks for both fixes.

Looking at them, it seems like it'd normally be 6.11 material, but given

- how far we currently are in a 6.11 development cycle
- how long this issue has been present in the code
- the fact that it actually does change the event processing behavior

I have to ask you for a judgement -- would you like to absolutely see 
these in 6.11 as last-minute fixes, or do you consider this to be 6.12 
material?

Thanks,

Hi Jiri,

These are pretty minor fixes, so I agree that there is no urgent need
to get them into 6.11. Feel free to queue them for 6.12 instead.

So you look at the sixty-fours....

Thanks. Both now queued in hid.git#for-6.12/wacom.
