The change consist also some changes to the protocol. Some new bits are parsed. I'm pretty sure that my particular device doesn't have any pressure. All I can do is to confirm that my device is still working.
However, I think that protocol changes and evdevification should be committed separately.

- Drop support for touch pressure.
According to comments in egalax tslib driver, tslib uses pressure level to detect touches. So unconditional claiming pressure as supported event can break 5-bytes proto touchscreens.
If pressure is claimed as unsupported, tslib egalax driver will fake it on its own.
- Change touchscreen resolution to 0(unknown)
