Proper internal kernel types are u8, u16, u32. For user-facing APIs
__u8, __u16, and __u32 should be used. Also, since this is data coming
directly off the wire, you should be using __le16, __le32, etc, and then
do __leXX_to_cpu() conversion before using it in calculations.
OK, I'll switch to u32 throughout (also for the float, I'll explain in a
commment). However, I haven't found a single other touchscreen driver
which uses __le32, even though they all probably process raw wire data -
can you suggest an example?
Not necessarily le32, but:

[dtor@dtor-d630 work]$ grep -ri to_cpu drivers/input/touchscreen/
drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.c:
le16_to_cpus(&object->start_address);
drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.c:       le16_to_cpus(range.x);

drivers/input/touchscreen/ads7846.c:            status = be16_to_cpu(*((u16 *)&req->sample[1]));
drivers/input/touchscreen/ads7846.c:            return be16_to_cpup((__be16 *)&(((char*)t->rx_buf)[1])) >> 3;
drivers/input/touchscreen/ads7846.c:            return be16_to_cpup((__be16 *)t->rx_buf) >> 3;
drivers/input/touchscreen/usbtouchscreen.c:     unsigned int data_len = be16_to_cpu(packet->data_len);
drivers/input/touchscreen/usbtouchscreen.c:     unsigned int x_len = be16_to_cpu(packet->x_len);
drivers/input/touchscreen/usbtouchscreen.c:     unsigned int y_len = be16_to_cpu(packet->y_len);

Just stick that dev in sur40_state and then use sur40->dev throughout.
OK.

No need to have parenthesis around & operator.

Same here.
Intention seems clearer to me with parentheses, but if this doesn't
conform to coding style, I'll fix it.

Would prefer standard kernel error unwinding style (gotos to proper
unwinding point).
Something like this example from ucb1400_ts?

	error = input_register_device(ucb->ts_idev);
	if (error)
		goto err_free_irq;

	return 0;

err_free_irq:
	free_irq(ucb->irq, ucb);
err_free_devs:
	input_free_device(ucb->ts_idev);
err:
	return error;
Yes, please.
