In 'commit 29cc309d8bf1 ("HID: hid-multitouch: forward MSC_TIMESTAMP")',
EV_MSC/MSC_TIMESTAMP is added to each before EV_SYN event. EV_MSC is
configured as INPUT_PASS_TO_ALL.
In case of a touch device which report MSC_TIMESTAMP:
BE pass EV_MSC/MSC_TIMESTAMP to FE on receiving event from evdev.
FE pass EV_MSC/MSC_TIMESTAMP back to BE.
BE writes EV_MSC/MSC_TIMESTAMP to evdev due to INPUT_PASS_TO_ALL.
BE receives extra EV_MSC/MSC_TIMESTAMP and pass to FE.
>>> Each new frame becomes larger and larger.
Disable EV_MSC/MSC_TIMESTAMP forwarding for MT.
