Subject: [PATCH v3 12/13] HID: introduce Scan Time

Win 8 digitizer devices provides the actual scan time computed by the
hardware itself. The value is global to the frame and is not specific
to the multitouch protocol (though only touch, not pen, should use it
according to the specification).

+* ABS_SCAN_TIME:

 * ABS_MT_<name>:
   - Used to describe multitouch input events. Please see
