Okay I am convinced that we need to model this as its own
driver if it is as different as you say.

But let's keep an eye on STMPE's approaches and what it does
right and wrong.

If I rewrote the STMPE driver today, the major changes would be
to use regmap to pass around to subdrivers, and implement a
combined pin control and GPIO driver, so I think those things should
be nice to have for the next iteration.
