Well the driver is enabled, I have a device to test, but the driver is
literally the touch component of the screen so yes it's one component
of the whole thing, I do have overlay/HAT support working although it
needs more polish so basically time will tell (and I need more time).

> What about other touchscreen for other arm SOC?

Well that's a broad sweeping statement. Overall there's a bunch of
touchscreens supported, but it's a small component of the whole, and a
lot of the cheap tablets have a LOT of weird bits around TS support.

> Anything else I should look at and maybe take advantage of....

Unicorns? Again a broad sweeping statement because what interests me
is likely of no consequence to you or so low level you'd just expect
it to work.... basically read the release notes
