I downloaded the .src.rpm (wrapped in a zip archive ...) and checked it. It does indeed contain binary-only parts so there is no way this can be made part of openSUSE.
Philipp Made part of openSUSE...hmmm...
I was thinking more as a part of hardware detection, hardwaredriver installation, itc: touchware. If it can be compiled into the kernel, why cann't this be done at installtime? (if a touchscreen is detected offcourse..)
Did you check it?
The source RPM contains no sources - it contains lots of binary stuff:
[snip...lots of binary stuff]
So, there's a common.o binary file. We will never add such a driver to our kernel.
It even does have: #ifdef MODULE_LICENSE MODULE_LICENSE("Proprietary"); #endif
So, this is not GPL compatible.
Sorry, no way, 3M is not providing a real source RPM for their kernel driver,

At this spot i am a complete noob... What should 3M do, to provide a 'real' GPL compatible driver? - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.
