Subject: v4.1 to v4.7: regression in tsc2005 driver

Hi!

tsc2005 driver changed input device name, from

drivers/input/touchscreen/tsc2005.c:	  input_dev->name = "TSC2005
touchscreen";

to "TSC200X touchscreen". Unfortunately, X seems to propagate that
name to userspace, where it is needed to be able to do

xinput --set-prop --type=int ...

with the right arguments to calibrate touchscreen. (Touchscreen is
unusable without calibration).

What to do with that?
