In commit 9a9466b6a9 ("evdev: discard any frame with EV_SYN SYN_REPORT 1")
all frames with a SYN_REPORT 1 were discarded on the assumption of those
being key repeat frames. Unfortunately the kernel uses the same sequence
to simply mark *any* injected/emulated event, regardless of the cause. Key repeat
events are merely the most numerous ones but as shown in commit
7140f13d82 ("evdev: track KEY_SYSRQ frames and pass them even as repeat frames")
Alt+PrintScreen is also an emulated event.
Issue #1165 details another case: keyboards with n-key rollover can
exceed the kernel-internal event buffer, typically 8 events for devices
without EV_REL/EV_ABS. Those events will be broken up by the kernel into
multiple frames - once nevents == buffer_size the current state is
flushed as SYN_REPORT 1 frame. Then, if any more events are pending
those are flushed as SYN_REPORT 0 frame. In the case of exactly 8
events, the second frame is never present, so we cannot easily detect if
another one is coming.
Issue #1145 only affects us in the touchpad code, the rest of the
backends seem to (so far) be fine. So let's move the discarding of
SYN_REPORT 1 to the touchpad backend and leave the rest of the code
as-is.
This effectively

This avoids inconsistencies between the LITEST_ enum value and the
shortname but also makes it easier to grep for any test cases that use
the same define. At the cost of the test names not looking very nice
anymore but oh well.

The test device initialization code was a bit of duplicated boilerplate and
required adding a reference to the devices to the 'devices' list in litest.c.
Automate this with a new TEST_DEVICE macro that adds the devices to a custom
section in the binary, then loops throught that section to get the device out.
This reduces the boilerplate for each test device to just the TEST_MACRO and
the LITEST_foo device enum entry. It also now automates the shortname of the
device.
The device's shortname was standardised in this approach as well, lowercase
and dashes only.
