Thanks for the re-spin Mika.

I just have one comment that needs discussion:

Some Win 7 panels have this quirk set too because they do not support
either querying random feature or input reports.

I think this test is safe given that this is, I think, what the Windows
driver does (I remember that it queries for the features it needs).
However I am not 100% sure if this will not break one low quality
touchscreen.

I would be in favor of applying the patch in its current shape, but if
Jiri thinks we need a little bit more caution here, we would need to add
a test regarding the Win8 capability here.

Jiri?

If we apply it, this patch is:
