That's too generic. Looking at your driver change, it is not even needed.
I wrote the novatek-nvt-ts driver for an Acer Iconia One 7 B1-750 tablet,
this is a x86 tablet which ships with Android as factory OS and because
Android OS images use kernels where everything is hardcoded the ACPI tables
do not describe this touchscreen. Instead the i2c_client for the touchscreen
is manually instantiated by some x86 platform glue code. Since it is
manually instantiated it uses i2c_device_id binding rather then OF/ACPI.
The generic "NVT-ts" i2c_device_id comes from me not knowing the controller
panel type back then. In the mean time I have learned that the B1-750 uses
NVT-NT11205 controller.
So what I think needs to happen here is add a preparation patch as first
patch to this series which basically does this:

This solves the too-generic ID problema nd can then be merged
together with the rest of the series through the input tree.
I'll give my ack as drivers/platform/x86 subsys maintainer for
merging the x86-android-tablets change this way.
Ok, will do so in v2. Thanks.

Eh, we have already panel. Why there is a need for touchscreen binding
(binding, not driver)?
I believe that the nt36672a identifier is an identifier for
a novatek display assembly which contains both a DSI display
panel as well as an I2C touchscreen. Since I2C devices need
Yeah.
to be children of the I2C controller we need a separate node
in the device tree for the I2c touchscreen-controller and since
it is a separate node it needs it own compatible I believe ? >
