Export device node as property.
There is currently no mapping between XI devices and physical devices other than what can be extracted by parsing the Xorg logfile. Add new property "Device Node" to the driver to export the open device file. Server 1.11 and later standardises on this property name. The client is responsible for detecting if the device is on the same host and converting the data into a more useful format (e.g. sysfs path). Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>
