Just FWIW, I'm happy to see this get RFCed early (early review is always
good), but I don't think we should submit it until it actually gets some
testing in real-world scenarios. That is naturally blocked on having a
MIPI display driver, since a touchscreen above a dead screen isn't
terribly useful. Otherwise, we might realize that we have some
binding/API issues we missed that are harder to fix after the fact.

So let's hold off on submission proper until we have the screen working
and some basic userspace tooling to go with all this shipping downstream
and it gets some real-world testing. Hopefully by then I'll have sent
out the SPI controller driver too :)
