Briefly stated: We think it's better if the driver sends only good data to
the applications. If there are multiple distributions for a device (there
are quite a few for the GTA02) they can share a tuned in-kernel
configuration. We also save a lot of kernel mode/user mode transitions
and data transmission allowing us to consider more samples for each
I guess it will be up to the distributors whether to use in-kernel linear
transformation or not. In either case I would like to test it.

The following entries are created:
I tried with this program:
#TODO: Write me in C please (0.46 seconds!)
prefix = '/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/s3c2440-ts/calibration'
a = open('/etc/pointercal').readline().strip().split(" ")
for i in range(0, len(a)):
f = open('%s/%s' % (prefix, i), 'w')
