Some kobo touch devices have X Y coordinates in touch events swapped.
This patch provides a GUI to probe if the device needs to swap the XY.
The Kobo Touch users will be directed to tap on the upper right corner
of the screen and the probe will check if the X value is smaller than
the Y value in the tap event.
This is a major overhaul of the hardware abstraction layer.
A few notes:
General platform distinction happens in
frontend/device.lua
which will delegate everything else to
frontend/device/<platform_name>/device.lua
which should extend
frontend/device/generic/device.lua
Screen handling is implemented in
frontend/device/screen.lua
which includes the *functionality* to support device specifics.
Actually setting up the device specific functionality, however,
is done in the device specific setup code in the relevant
device.lua file.
The same goes for input handling.
colors were a mixture of 4bpp integers (0=white, 15=black) and
fractional blackness levels (0=white, 1.0=black) before. This is
now unified to use the color specification of the Blitbuffer API.
