Some touchscreens, depending on the firmware and/or the digitizer, report coordinates which never reach 0 along one or both of their axis. This has been seen for example on the Silead touchscreens on a Onda V891w and a Point of View mobii TAB-P800w(v2.0). This commit adds support for touchscreen-min-x and touchscreen-min-y device-properties which can be set to communicate the actual start coordinates (rather then 0,0) to userspace. This commit also drop the "(in pixels)" comment from the documentation of the touchscreen-size-x and touchscreen-size-y properties. The comment suggested that there is a relation between the range of reported coordinates and the display resolution, which is only true for some devices. The "(in pixels)" comment is replaced with "(maximum x coordinate reported + 1)" to mirror the language describing the new touchscreen-min-x and -min-y properties. When set this fixes e.g. not being able to click things in the GNOME3 top-bar on the 2 example tablets.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
