yeah, I've given up on trying to guess finger/thumb/palm sizes.
git grep for these quirk names in libinput for the ranges:
AttrTouchSizeRange
AttrThumbSizeThreshold
AttrPalmSizeThreshold

There are also matching s/Size/Pressure/ entries for touchpads without
major/minor. Looking at the database now, the palm size thresholds range
entries are 5 (Wacom) and a set of 800-1600 for apple touchpads. So yeah,
all this is really a bit random :)

Feel free to steal those entries though and/or add to them where applicable.

Cheers,
Peter

And given that we might have 2 different resolutions, we would need to do some computation in the kernel to ensure the data is correct with respect to the resolution.
