--- Comment #4 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
First: the driver you linked to cannot be upstreamed. it is of unknown origin
and the very top says Copyright (c) 2013 Tan Huang,Shenzhen Huion. No license
information is provided, so full copyright must be assumed and thus this driver
is incompatible with the GPL.

Because of that I didn't read past the copyright bit, unless it is marked as
GPL looking at the driver will taint anyone and open them to copyright
infringement penalties. IANAL but stuff like this needs to be handled very
carefully.

If you can get Eugina from the forum to contact me, then we can work
upstreaming this driver properly.

Yes please. Let's see what the current kernel does.
