udev: update local rules for new touchscreen device
* While working with a new capacitive touchscreen it was found
that the existing udev rule that creates the
/dev/input/touchscreen0 symlink was too restrictive and did not
match the MODALAIS entry for this touchscreen. which is:
MODALIAS=input:b0018v0000p0000e0000-e0,1,3,k14A,ra0,1,2F,35,36,39,mlsfw
* By looking at the input_print_modalias function in the Linux
kernel drivers/input/input.c file and referencing the meaning
of the evbits and attributes of the input_dev structure it seems
that for identification of a touchscreen the match with ,18
which was matching part of the absbit structure is overkill.
* It seems that the absbit entry is used for devices like
touchscreens and if that the the "a" is followed by 0 and 1 this
is sufficient.
* So the logic has now been changed to check for the "e" 0 and 3
values which correspond to EV_SYN and EV_ABS, then check for
the "a" attribute with 0 and 1.
