temporary patch to solve this issue

libinput, SRCREV = 56b5f846ac7f8243da4ba2f288654becf1014c46

issue:
   Weston will crash when plugin a mouse device.

precondition:
   Define "LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX" in udev rules;

crash point:
   crash happens in function "evdev_device_calibrate()" when calculate x/y scaler: 
   
   sx = device->abs.absinfo_x->maximum - device->abs.absinfo_x->minimum + 1;
   sy = device->abs.absinfo_y->maximum - device->abs.absinfo_y->minimum + 1;

   inside this calculation, maybe the absinfo_x/y is nil, then the access to maximum & minimum value will aborted.

   even it is caused by the driver, i thin libinput need to focus this case.

   see the attached patch for a temporary solution.
