We will do.

We will do the change.

Will be fixed.

Rz is pressure measured in Ohms. That is, it is a resistance which
correlates with finger pressure.

I fear that I do not understand your question. Does ABS_PRESSURE have
to be reported in a specific unit, e.g. milli Newton? We thought that
it is a device specific scale and that it will be converted into a
calibrated value (just like the coordinates) in user space.

Thank you for this recommendation. We will check it out and send a new
proposal.

We will have a look at the other drivers.

We will work on a solution. Thank you for spotting this.

OK, we will remove the .owner assignment.
