Linux embedded controller driver for 5th generation (and later) Surface devices required for battery status and more.
Note: These modules are integrated into https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface. There is no need to install it separately if you've already installed one of the kernels provided there. If you have a Surface Book 2 you might also want to have a look at the dtx-daemon and the surface-control utility.
