The use of V4L2_CAP_TOUCH and V4L2_BUF_TYPE_TOUCH_CAPTURE is very inconsistent.
What is the rationale of adding V4L2_BUF_TYPE_TOUCH_CAPTURE? I can't remember
asking for it.

And wouldn't the use of V4L2_BUF_TYPE_TOUCH_CAPTURE break userspace for sur40?

I'm ambiguous towards having a V4L2_BUF_TYPE_TOUCH_CAPTURE, to be honest.

I would also recommend renaming V4L2_CAP_TOUCH to V4L2_CAP_TOUCH_CAPTURE.

I can imagine an embedded usb gadget device that outputs touch data to a PC.
