According to the ili2117a/2118a datasheet I have, there are still a
few loose ends.
Some of these might be too inconsequential to worry about.
Dmitry, tell me which ones you think are important, if any,
and I will spin a patch if you like. Or you can do it, just let me know.

My datasheet says ILI2117A/ILI2118A, so maybe the compatible string should
really be "ilitek,ili211x", just like the other variants ?

In addition, should we add ili2117/ili2118 in comments somewhere, so others
can find this driver with a simple grep?

The ili2117/ili2118 does not have a calibrate register, so this sysfs group
is unsupported and perhaps may even be harmful if touched (?).

Perhaps add a flag to struct ili2xxx_chip ?

The max position on ili2117/8 is 0xfff. The OS I'm using (Android) likes to know
the correct min and max. So it can map touch coords to pixel coords.

Perhaps add this to struct ili2xxx_chip ?

On ili2117/ili2118, the firmware version register is different (0x03), and
the layout is different too:

byte    name
0       vendor id
1       reserved
2       firmware version upper
3       firmware version lower
4       reserved
5       reserved
6       reserved
7       reserved

But, does it even make sense to retrieve the firmware version? All it's used
for is a dev_dbg log print, which under normal circumstances is a noop:
