Hi Jason,
Adds INPUT_PROP_POINTER or INPUT_PROP_DIRECT as necessary to the
hardware supported by the Wacom driver. The DIRECT property is
assigned to devices with an embedded screen (i.e. touchscreens
and display tablets). The POINTER property is assigned to those
without embedded screens.

According to the discussion leading up to the properties interface
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/12/15/263), a tablet is a direct pointer
device, as opposed to a touchpad, which is an indirect pointer
device. The distinction determines the direction of two-finger scroll,
for instance. The question is then what behavior should be assigned to
a large tablet without an embedded screen. It should have POINTER set
for sure, but should it also have DIRECT set?
Thanks,
Henrik
