Some touchscreens are shipped with a physical layer on top of them where
a number of buttons and a resized touchscreen surface might be available.
In order to generate proper key events by overlay buttons and adjust the
touch events to a clipped surface, these patches offer a documented,
device-tree-based solution by means of helper functions.
An implementation for a specific touchscreen driver is also included.
The functions in ts-virtobj provide a simple workflow to acquire
physical objects from the device tree, map them into the device driver
structures as virtual objects and generate events according to
the object descriptions.
This solution has been tested with a JT240MHQS-E3 display, which uses
the st1624 as a touchscreen and provides two overlay buttons and a frame
that clips its effective surface.
