Forgive my carelessness, This is my first time posted patches to kernel, I'm not sure which mailbox to send my patches, so I Cc the linux-input@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. And as a result you can find the maillist only in "LKML". > > Finally thanks for you advice I'll try add a > > patch in ./bindings/input/touchscreen/goodix.txt rather than add a > > new file. > > That's not what I meant.

This new driver is for out new generation touchscreen controllers, consider this two generations are very different with each other. We wrote a new driver instead of make a patch on the old driver. > Good to see that Goodix is finally upstreaming its drivers though, my > attempts at contacting some of your colleagues fell on deaf ears a > couple of years ago. Thank you very mouch for your attention, And very sorry for the negligence. I believe in the future we will pay more and more attention to keep the the Goodix driver up to date.
