Public bug reported:
The surface3_spi touchscreen driver finally hit Linus' kernel tree in
v4.8rc1. It would be great if this could be backported to the kernels
that Ubuntu ships.
The relevant upstream commits should be:
30f3a6ab44d8d06bb3d94f6320e4aa76df59d025 spi: pxa2xx: Add support for both chip
selects on Intel Braswell
4feacbc24eea0c5f36728017575cc0ad28d8758b Input: add new driver for the Surface 3
427ee20610a7c252e99d08e08e70a4203c6059d0 Input: surface3_spi - Prepare to add
support for Surface Pen
72fb4765ac9eea56a94282f29cdc70706f21494e Input: surface3_spi - add surface pen
support for Surface 3
These should hopefully be enough to get the touchscreen working. 4.4 is
a really old kernel, so there might be some additional ACPI fixes
needed. I'm not 100% certain. This is all that was needed on top of 4.6.
