I think the transformation should happen in
hid-multitouch.c::mt_process_slot() using helpers from
include/linux/input/touchscreen.h

I think the more challenging question is to how pass/attach struct
touchscreen_properties * to the hid device (i expect the properties will
be attached to i2c-hid device, but maybe we could create a sub-node of
it and attach properties there.

Thanks.
