I appears that "axelrtgs/linux-kernel-ipts-4.10" doesn't provide a few
of the necessary firmwares.

Title:
  Surface Pro 4 Touch/Pen requires IPTS

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hardware: Microsoft Surface Pro 4, 4gb/128gb nvme drive

  Expected Behaviour: Pen/Touch function

  Actual Behaviour: Pen/Touch do not work or respond to anything

  Kernel/Ubuntu Versions: All

  Cause: Hardware requires IPTS (Intel Precision Touch & Stylus) to
  function. This is because touch processing is accelerated by the Intel
  Skylake GPU.

  IPTS driver can be found here: https://github.com/ipts-linux-org/ipts-
  linux-new/wiki

  Kernel compile under Debian with other Surface-specific patches can be
  found here: https://github.com/jimdigriz/debian-mssp4

  On Reddit there are some custom kernels floating around with support
  patched in:
  
https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/4t64zt/getting_the_sp4_running_with_ubuntu_1604/

  UPDATE: The IPTS driver needed some updates for 4.10, allegedly this is a 
working version: https://github.com/axelrtgs/linux-kernel-ipts-4.10
  Discussion here:https://github.com/ipts-linux-org/ipts-linux-new/issues/3
  The same person has a linux-firmware-ipts, which (again, allegedly) includes 
the firmware: https://github.com/axelrtgs/linux-firmware-ipts
