[PATCH 4.6 084/203] Revert "HID: multitouch: enable palm rejection if device implements confidence usage"

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Allen Hung <allen_hung@xxxxxxxx>

commit 62630ea768869beeb1e514b0bf5607a0c9b93d12 upstream.

This reverts commit 25a84db15b3f ("HID: multitouch: enable palm rejection
if device implements confidence usage")

The commit enables palm rejection for Win8 Precision Touchpad devices but
the quirk MT_QUIRK_VALID_IS_CONFIDENCE it is using is not working very
properly. This quirk is originally designed for some WIn7 touchscreens. Use
of this for a Win8 Precision Touchpad will cause unexpected pointer jumping
problem.
