This commit got lost going from 6.8 to 6.9, but has only just been noticed (by @spl237)

libinput uses the input device name alone. If you have two identical input devices, then there is no way to differentiate between them, and in the case of touchscreens that means no way to associate them with the appropriate display device.

Add the I2C bus and address to the start of the input device name so that the name is always unique within the system.
