These generic touchscreen bindings can also be used for touchpads.
Instead of creating new generic bindings this patch just renames then to
touch-*.

It was suggested that for the synaptics-rmi4 driver I use the generic
bindings. But, since the rmi4 driver is used for both touchpads and
touchscreens it seemed weird to have a touchpad with a parameter
of touchscreen-inverted-y. I changed all of the references to it in the
source tree. But, I realize this could cause a backwards compatibilty
issue with device trees which are not included in the kernel.

It does and you cannot do this. Live with the weirdness or support both
names...

Ok, I had a feeling this wouldn't go over well. I guess I'll try living 
with the weirdness for now.

Thanks,
Andrew
