Surface Pro 7 - touchscreen intel_lpss should be added, battery still to fix #65

Description

@aleksfadini

Most things work, more details here:
jakeday/linux-surface#592

Would be nice to have working:

-battery (surface acpi not working)
-touchscreen (related to intel_lpss blacklist otherwise wont boot)

Here is more info on touchscreen issue:

First Boot
To boot fully without the boot process hanging one must blacklist the 'intel_lpss_pci' module, which can be done on a live media installation by selecting the boot option you want and pressing 'e', navigating to the end of the boot options string, and adding 'modprobe.blacklist=intel_lpss_pci'. This should allow booting into the full OS and further installation to the internal SSD.

Intel LPSS
To fix the intel_lpss_module the patch from this paste must be applied to the kernel.

Remember to be cautious about running code or installing patches from third party sources if you do not know what it does.

This patch should enable the system to boot without blacklisting the module, further enabling access to the touchscreen.
