On x86/ACPI platforms touchscreens mostly just work without needing any device/model specific configuration. But in some cases (mostly with Silead and Goodix touchscreens) it is still necessary to manually specify various touchscreen-properties on a per model basis. touchscreen_dmi is a special place for DMI quirks for this, but it can be challenging for users to figure out the right property values, especially for Silead touchscreens where non of these can be read back from the touchscreen-controller. ATM users can only test touchscreen properties by editing touchscreen_dmi.c and then building a completely new kernel which makes it unnecessary difficult for users to test and submit properties when necessary for their laptop / tablet model. Add support for specifying properties on the kernel commandline to allow users to easily figure out the right settings. See the added documentation in kernel-parameters.txt for the commandline syntax.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
