So the older 7" HDMI C Rev 1.1 with the non IPS panel won't even attach, but
it always needed some special binary support for Linux, no surprises here.
The newer Rev 2.1 with the IPS panel claims to be the same and work with
webcamd, at least I get data via /dev/input/event0, which looks reasonable
with evdev-dump.
That's an interesting starting point.
