Continuation of the incremental integration of the great work from @krikun98 in #778 with the movement and scrolling pieces next. Based on the rebased work from @caksoylar and and the split acceleration from @bryanforbes

TODO

  • Docs update
  • Review acceleration curves/functions configurability
  • Review @manna-harbour Discord discussion on per-device scaling factors.
  • Review @manna-harbour Discord note on storing float values, and on send of the report discard whole values, but retain the fractional remainder to be included in the follow up calculations, to avoid jerkiness/jumpiness.

The part that initially made me bang my head against the wall with all this is the fact that Zephyr sometimes seems to de-prioritize these timers if the system is under load.
This is (as far as I was able to understand) the primary cause of the instability with mouse movement - reports can be sent out at random intervals or dropped entirely.
I was exploring re-writing this system to use a dedicated thread, but I wasn't skilled enough at C at the time.
I'm not sure this basis for the tick system is robust enough for general use.

So... timers should be using the hardware timers to trigger, and happen in ISR context. The queue has a certain priority, can be preempted, etc. Tweaking that thread priority might help, but I'll play a bit to see what I can determine. Thanks for the insight!

This is most certainly not definitive - it's a half-remembered conclusion from an investigation I wasn't skilled enough to perform two years ago, just food for thought. I distinctly remember reports being delayed or dropped and that causing instability. hog.c:335 might also be worth taking a look at.

I think it might make sense to move these decode defines outside the dt-bindings header, and to either plain mouse.h or the corresponding event headers they are used in.

Could you please change the target to https://github.com/petejohanson/zmk/tree/core/zephyr-3.5-update here? The review is unnecessarily cluttered.

Unfortunately, that will move the PR into a different GH fork, and make a bit of a mess. I recommend reviewing each commit for clarity for now, until the Zephyr 3.5 bits are merged into ZMK main.
