Thinking about the device parameters... Wouldn't it be possible to read them
from the Silead controller? According to comments in the firmware shipped with
the old Android platform driver by Basewin, all the configurable parameters
are contained in the firmware.[1]

I don't have a complete data sheet, but maybe we could just read back the
panel width and height and number of tracking points from a hardware register?

That would not solve the problem of transferring the correct, platform
specific firmware image to the device, however.
