ABS_HAT is pretty unusual for a touchscreen...

It is trying to do something useful for multitouch. People actually
use multitouch on HTC dream. I guess I can strip it from version being
merged...

What about converting it to emit ABS_MT_* events added specifically
for the multitouch protocol?

I believe at the time the driver was written, those events did not
exist.  If the input framework has more appropriate events for the
"2nd finger" (which is how synaptics represents MT on this panel), we
should definitely switch to them.

Yes, MT events were added recently and they are working. Please check
this demo based on MT events.

Also, please confirm if polling mode is really used in some h/w
configuration, if not as said by Dmitry, we can remove it and do clean
integration with threaded irq.
