No issues here. I noticed a few things that I had written that weren't
attributed, but they could have very well been written by you from
scratch during the big rewrite :). It's hard to keep track of it all,
and it's not worth much to me, so I'm happy to leave things as-is.

If it matters for the certificate of origin legal matter, everything in
this patch set that I have contributed but did not explicitly sign off
on is implicitly:

Signed-off-by: Chase Douglas <chase.douglas at canonical.com>

I hope no one makes me go through and add this individually where
required :).

Unless I replied to a specific patch, all are:

Reviewed-by: Chase Douglas <chase.douglas at canonical.com>

To summarize, all are Reviewed-by (maybe with non-functional fixes)
except 27 and 37.

Can you summarize what is unimplemented (or needs fixing)? The following
is what I remember:

* Implementation of early reject/accept of passive touch grabs
* What to do about overlapping touch selections when attaching a slave
  device to a master device
* Maybe a change to handling of explicit active grabs of touches

Thanks!
