Yes, it could be changed as well, like the bit patterns. As you
mention below, the logic around the bits could be enhanced, and the
ABS_X/Y should go in that set of changes.

Well, it is no longer needed, but sure, one could keep it and just
remove the unused fields.

Ok, I will extend the patchset for hid-multitouch to include such
changes as well.
