[PATCH libinput] RFC on quirk handling in libinput

Hi,
The patch in the follow up mail describes a quirk needed to handle the
touchscreen for a range of mediatek based devices. Depending on how the touch
screen is wired to the soc, it always would report maximum == minimum == 0 for
ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID.

Whats the best way to handle this sort of broken drivers (next to fixing the
kernel vendor)?

If adding an entry to the hwdb would help - how do I get to the strings that
identify the device?

regards,
Andreas
