there are a few bits and pieces, but no single spec.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/input/input.txt (see section 5)
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/input/event-codes.txt

how the protocol A and B work:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/input/multi-touch-protocol.txt

more internal stuff:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/input/input-programming.txt
 
but aside from that it's largely a look at linux/input.h and figure it out
from there...
seen from userspace it's a relatively simple protocol, though slightly
quirky in places (which prompted libevdev).
