I am not aware of any way how /dev/input/eventX values can be calibrated
within the kernel.

Most capacitive touchscreens are doing this calibration in hardware
so that values correspond 1:1 to screen coordinates.  But resistive
touchscreens return usually only the raw 10-12 bit ADC values in
ABS_X/Y.
