On some panels, depending on the nature of the inconsistencies, you can
make it useful.  For example, using the tsc2103 controller and a panel
on the device I was working on at TI in E&PS, I was able to write a
linear calibration (thankfully it was linear) for its pressure values.
I'd like to see a new tslib handle this a bit better, via a more
extensible, modular calibration piece.
