Linux kernel: getting ELAN touchscreen to work, USB debug related
This problem is actually known (ext: ELAN Touchscreen regression in recent 3.12's), but has no known solution up to kernel 3.13.6:
[ 3844.533281] usb 2-7: new full-speed USB device number 91 using xhci_hcd
[ 3846.552668] usb 2-7: unable to read config index 0 descriptor/start: -71
[ 3846.552674] usb 2-7: can't read configurations, error -71
[ 3846.705075] usb 2-7: new full-speed USB device number 92 using xhci_hcd

[ 3848.876892] usb 2-7: new full-speed USB device number 93 using xhci_hcd

[ 3851.180686] usb 2-7: new full-speed USB device number 94 using xhci_hcd
Unfortunately, the expected solution didn't work for me. I've disabled anything with DEBUG in kernel, excepting these:
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_X86_DEBUGCTLMSR=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
CONFIG_HAVE_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT=y
CONFIG_HAVE_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=y
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS=y
usbtouchscreen module is disabled (as recommended on the Arch wiki). Any ideas?
PROBLEM SOLVED.
So at a certain moment between 3.14 and 3.15-rc8 it started working.

Try enabling hid-multitouch module in your kernel:
-> Device Drivers
-> HID support
-> HID bus support (HID [=y])
-> Special HID drivers
-> HID Multitouch panels
