Public bug reported:

Hardware: Microsoft Surface Pro 4, 4gb/128gb nvme drive

Actual Behaviour: Pen/Touch do not work or respond to anything

Kernel/Ubuntu Versions: All

Cause: Hardware requires IPTS (Intel Precision Touch & Stylus) to
function. This is because touch processing is accelerated by the Intel
Skylake GPU.

Kernel compile under Debian with other Surface-specific patches can be
found here: https://github.com/jimdigriz/debian-mssp4
