Input: appletouch - fix integer overflow issue

Browse source 
When reading data from Geyser 2 touchpads used on post Oct 2005 Apple
PowerBooks the driver was casting X and Y coordinates values to
'signed char'. Testing on one of such PowerBooks I have noticed that
touchpad always generates positive values, but some of them are greater
that 127, and thus, when cast to 'signed char' being interpreted as
a negative.

Such bigger values have been observed infrequently, closer to the
edges of a touchpad, so the problem was not very visible.
Nevertheless, the patch would potentially improve touchpad
driver accuracy.
