Afaik, we should be able to change in-kernel API's (especially if they
are wrong) since we do not guarantee any API...

Ok, I see the reason for that functionality.
I am mainly concerned about the new DT bindings. The touchscreen binding
documents specify touchscreen-swapped-x-y, see:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/touchscreen/touchscreen.txt
I would like to make sure that this property is really swapping axis
(and not necessary if the hardware is implemented according to the
datasheet...)
We could also implement a workaround to keep the platform data behavior
as is (invert the swap_xy flag)...
