So I will move the code from touchscreen to input and I will update the names and descriptions to make them more generic. I guess then I will need to move the properties to a separate binding for this feature because it will not be an addition to the touchscreen bindings anymore, right? >> diff --git a/drivers/input/touchscreen/ts-overlay.c b/drivers/input/touchscreen/ts-overlay.c >> new file mode 100644 >> index 000000000000..7afa77d86c1f >> --- /dev/null >> +++ b/drivers/input/touchscreen/ts-overlay.c >> @@ -0,0 +1,356 @@ >> +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only >> +/* >> + * Helper functions for overlay objects on touchscreens >> + * >> + * Copyright (c) 2023 Javier Carrasco <javier.carrasco@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> + */ >> + >> +#include <linux/property.h> >> +#include <linux/input.h> >> +#include <linux/input/mt.h> >> +#include <linux/module.h> >> +#include <linux/input/ts-overlay.h> >> + >> +enum ts_overlay_valid_objects { >> + TOUCHSCREEN, >> + BUTTON, > > Please namespace these, i.e. TOUCH_OVERLAY_*. > >> +}; >> + >> +static const char *const ts_overlay_names[] = { >> + [TOUCHSCREEN] = "overlay-touchscreen", > > I'm a little confused why we need new code for this particular function; it's > what touchscreen-min-x/y and touchscreen-size-x/y were meant to define.

Therefore I might be misusing those properties. On the other hand touchscreen-size-x/y would make more sense, but I also considered the case where someone would like to describe the real size of the touchscreen outside of the overlay node as well as the clipped size inside the node. In that case using the same property twice would be confusing. So in the end I thought that the origin/size properties are more precise and applicable for all objects and not only the overlay touchscreen.

It is already listed with the same pattern that some other bindings use: linux,code: true Is that not right?

Otherwise that chunk of memory will not be accessible even though it is useless because the operation failed, right?
