Solve it properly. That means passing calibration
data from kernel to userland.

As written before, the really proper solution would be to provide floating
or fixed point subpixel input events. Not arbitrarily scaling up in kernel
and leaving downscaling to user space (where everybody can make it
worse).

That has no advantages, and floating point in kernel is hard. Also
you'd either have to invent new interface, or you'd break touchscreen
for people that already have their touchscreens calibrated. Just
pass calibration data to userland.

But I don't think it is worth implementing subpixel touch events for real
world devices due to the jitter I mentioned.

Yes, that's not really proper solution, that just overengineered. Not
worth implementing. Pass calibration data to userland.
