You are completely right, I added this when GNOME3 / libinput would not
recognize the pen (looking at other stylus/pen drivers) but IIRC things
then still did not work and then I also added code to set the resolution.

I just tested without setting BTN_STYLUS and things still work fine,
so the comment and the line setting BTN_STYLUS can be dropped while
merging this. Let me know if you want me to do a new version with this
dropped instead.

Hans
