I'm not an expert at this, but as you say you should think twice on what 
exactly needs tbd in init/preinit/enable. I guess it's not terribly 
wrong to alter e.g. AxisInfo.min_value just after you got the first 
packet. This should enable you to postpone some of init. Blocking in 
device init is not what you want, really.
As an alternative, you can resort to configuration instead of guessing. 
AFAIK at least synaptics has such options.

Good luck!
