I'll add something like above but I think the logic is slightly different.

The code handles all the generic tablet and Wacom Protocol 4/5 cases
just fine today.  The issue is limited to working with "generic
touchpads" and "generic touchscreens" I think.    The later are the
only ones that do not send BTN_TOOL_FINGER as best I know.  So I'll
add something similar to evdev's EVDEV_TOUCHPAD and EVDEV_TOUCHSCREEN.

Since this is same concept as knowing when to set relative vs.
absolute mode, the flag WCM_LCD probably already has correct meaning.

Roughly:

case BTN_TOOL_FINGER:
if (common->wcmProtocol != WCM_PROTOCOL_GENERIC)
  /* this is PAD device on Wacom device.  Setup as PAD. */
else
  /* This is a generic touchpad in relative mode.  Setup like
DOUBLETAP on a Wacom. We will ignore any accompanying BTN_TOUCH for
setup phase. */
break;

case BTN_TOUCH:
if (common->wcmProtocol == WCM_PROTOCOL_GENERIC &&
TabletHasFeature(common, WCM_LCD)
  /* This is a generic touchscreen in absolute mode.  Setup like
DOUBLETAP on a Wacom. */
else
  /* This is touch sent with protocol 4/5 devices or with tochpads.
Ignore during setup because it was setup with BTN_TOOL_* event. */
break;
