Good timing, then ;-)

Can you suggest a kernel driver which I could use as base?

Also, slightly technical issue: the Surface has one single USB interface
with several bulk endpoints: one for coordinate data, one for raw image
data. AFAICT it's not possible to handle different endpoints in the same
interface with different drivers? Consequently, the MT driver should
also provide some sort of a video interface... (probably not a full V4L
interface, though, as there aren't any adjustable parameters to speak of).
