It doe snot have to and it will not if you use
touchscreen_parse_properties(). But you are right, fuzz is reserved for
software de-jittering, and it can be changed at any time from userspace
at input device level, but will not be communicated to the hardware. I
think hardware-based filtering is hardware-specific and I think
having a separate property is fine for it. We can still standardize on
name, units, etc though.

Please address the items from my other email and I should be able to
pick it up.

Thanks.
