Add a settings module-parameter which can be allowed to specify/override
various device-properties.

Unlike most other touchscreen controllers Silead touchscreens don't tell us
the ranges of the reported x and y coordinates and Silead touchscreens also
often need to have their axis inverted and/or swapped to match the display
coordinates.

Being able to specify the necessary properties through a module parameter,
allows users of new device-models to help us with bringing up support for
new devices without them needing to do a local kernel-build just to modify
these settings.

This LGTM, with one comment that I do not feel strongly about.

While harmless, this seems like a bit of an overuse of the proposed
functionality. Either the platform has a home button or it does not.
Would users really need to experiment with this property enabled or
disabled?

Thank you for the review.

Having this is actually useful, because users do need to check if
they actually have a home-button:

1. Always setting this may lead to false-positive home button presses
   on some models (IIRC, this has been around for a long time)

2. The home button typical is a windows logo printed on the front of
   cheap windows tablets below the screen. Recently I was adding info
   for yet another such cheap tablet and I asked the user to test
   the home-button since the windows logo was clearly there visually.
   But on this specific model touching the windows logo does not do
   anything.

Combined these 2 make it useful for users to be able to explicitly
test the home-button functionality.

Regards,

Hans

I vaguely remember that some users also reported Android-targeted 
tablets where the surface covering the soft-touch buttons was simply an 
extension of the whole touch surface, and not send any explicit key 
press events.

But I may be mistaken, or it was a bug in an older driver version that 
didn't support touch buttons well.
