Hi Stefan,

I would be hesitant to invert the default behaviour of the driver.
Too many people in the field already using it as it is.

A XY swap can have multiple reasons.

Lot's of small VGA/QVGA TFTs have the option to switch the scan
direction from Landscape to Portrait. In addition you can also rotate
and flip or mirror using VDMA options. So it really depends on the use
case, how the touch panel is mounted to the screen or how it is wired.

Regards,
Michael
