Just a quick update (and I'll review the series, I promise!).
The Bamboo PAD still works with this series. The only difference from
the current code is that now, we have an extra "pen" input node (unused)
attached to the touch interface (it was maybe what you were saying, but
it was not entirely clear for me, sorry :-P ).

Yeah. That is pretty much what we currently have for handling the PAD.
When the parsing has been made, I just revert the tool.

It might be easier to follow, but that would mean to implement a n-th
protocol, while the descriptor already gives us the protocol. So not
sure what is simpler here.
