Hi,
It would probably make sense to have the fixes merged, so that any
calibration application works out of the box.

Looking at the patches, they all modify evdev, but they seem to be more
of a "workaround" kind than real fixes:
+    if (id[1]==0xeef && id[2]==0x1)
+    {
+    	pEvdev->egalaxHack=TRUE;
+	xf86Msg(X_INFO, "%s: Enabling egalax hack (Z/Rx)->(X/Y)\n", pInfo->name);

or:
+			case 330: // button up/down
+			case 272:

It seems like the real fixes should go into the kernel drivers, to
follow a more standard interface. Have you reported the bugs, or
contacted the maintainers of the respective drivers? It would be great
to do so!

Cheers,
Eric
