This whole recipe has machine specific bits and removing those bits only of some machines (in this case all from meta-smartphone BSPs) doesn't improve that recipe. So if you want to improve it, merge extra functionality (like xinput-pointercal) to oe-core and drop this completely, but breaking some machines doesn't make thinks better. Instead of "fixing" it in meta-smartphone BSPs I would just copy whole xserver-common back to meta-shr, because I don't have time now to fix it properly and spending time on .bbappends is not worth it in this case.
