Thank you for the patch. While this is a step forward in moving toward
a common binding for this vendor like we have discussed in the past, I
do not agree with this approach and will instead propose an alternative
that accomplishes the same goal.

For all of these devices, a single sensing channel takes a base and a
threshold property. IQS626A is unique in that a fixed number of channels
form a trackpad, and I decided at the time to simply define the base and
target properties for all channels as a uint32-array.

For all other existing drivers, as well as others coming down the pipe,
base and threshold are uint32s. I find it confusing to redefine all of
those as single-element arrays, especially on account of one device.

In hindsight, a better design would have been to define a child node
for each channel under the trackpad node, with each child node accepting
a uint32 base and threshold. That would follow other devices, be more
representative of the actual hardware, and keep the definitions the same
across each binding.

So, that's what I propose to do here instead. I happen to have a fix in
review [1] that addresses a bug related to this parsing code, and would
be happy to build this solution on top assuming it can wait until the
next cycle. Does this compromise sound OK?
