 2d sensors and F11

Hi Rob,

I'm taking a look at this patchset again and I had a couple follow up 
questions.

Oops! That's a lot of typos. I'll make sure to run spell check next time.

Are you referring to the generic properties documented here?
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/touchscreen/touchscreen.txt

The rmi4 driver will be used for both touchpads and touchscreens so 
having a touchpad set a property like touchscreen-inverted-y could be 
confusing. It looks like there used to be more generic parameters which 
are now deprecated. Now the generic parameters are specific to 
touchscreens. Would it make sense to create touch-* parameters instead 
of touchscreen-*?

Thanks,
Andrew
