Some newer BIOS versions of the TrekStor SurfTab wintron 7.0 tablet use
different (better) DMI strings, update the existing 60-sensors.hwdb
entry for this tablet to also work with the newer BIOS.
#Add "Early 2008 Core 2 Duo/Penryn" Macbook4,1 match string to the existing touchpad range definition
##Symptoms
* Jerky/Jumpy cursor motion using touchpad
* "Axis value outside expected range" message in Xorg.0.log
##Fix
I followed the instructions described here :https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/absolute_coordinate_ranges.html and came up with the following :
evdev:input:b0003v05ACp022A*
EVDEV_ABS_00=256:1469:12
EVDEV_ABS_01=256:829:12
The ranges and resolutions are the same as stated in the existing definition (+/- 2) so only add the match string.

Tested on Lenovo MIIX3 with Debian 9
Confirmed via `udevadm test /sys/class/input/eventX` that
POINTINGSTICK_* properties were not being set for my T430s trackpoint.
After adding a local entry file (as advised in this file), the same
`udevadm test` command showed properties.
More importantly, the movement of mouse using trackpoint felt much
better. Hard to describe its previous state, but following come to mind:
slippery, hard to control, awkward. Now it feels more consistent and predictable.
A little on the sensitive side with the defaults, but didn't think it warranted
dedicated properties just for this series though as the X230 is same generation
and uses the defaults.

The changes in pci.ids, usb.ids, and the .hwdb files are almost always
additions. 20-OUI.hwdb drops a few names and replaces them by
"IEEE Registration Authority". I'm not sure what to do about this.
Many other removals do not seem to be removals of real entries, but
rather placeholder or generic names.
So far I avoided adding license headers to meson files, but they are pretty
big and important and should carry license headers like everything else.
I added my own copyright, even though other people modified those files too.
But this is mostly symbolic, so I hope that's OK.
The GP-electronic T701 has its LCD panel mounted upside-down, initially
my plan was to fix this by transparently rotating the image in the i915
driver (my "drm/i915: Deal with upside-down mounted LCD" patch), but
that approach has been rejected instead the kernel will now export
a "panel orientation" property on the drm-connector for the panel and
let userspace deal with it.
Since the upside-down-ness of the panel is now no longer transparently
hidden from userspace, the current accel mount quirk for the T701 needs
to be updated to take the upside-down-ness into account.
The input_id builtin assigns the various ID_INPUT based on the exported evdev
bits. In some cases, the device may not have the properties required to label
a device as one specific type but the physical form factor is clear.
e.g. in the case of #7197 it's a tablet pad that does not have x/y axes which
the kernel exports for pads for historical reasons.
A custom override is needed, best to be solved with a hwdb entry.

On some devices the display (LCD panel) is mounted non upright
in the device's casing, e.g. mounted upside-down or 90 degree rotated.
Document the expected ACCEL_MOUNT_MATRIX settings for such devices.
The vast majority of touchpads are internal, so let's assume that any USB
touchpad is internal by default (exception: bluetooth) and manually mark the
ones that are external. That's a lot more future-proof than having to mark all
internal touchpads that use USB as internal - that number is only going to
increase.

The advantage is that is the name is mispellt, cpp will warn us.

→ we have two vendor prefixes with duplicate entries. For the first one,
there are two entries with what appear to be the same company. In the
second case, the same prefix is assigned to three different entities.
I arbitrarily chose to prefer the first entry.
This is rather slow (1 m 45 s on my laptop), but since it'd be only used
once per release, maybe this doesn't matter that much.
Output is identical to ids-update.pl with the set of source files committed in
the grandparent.
