For a touchscreen that's a discrete device (not sharing logic / power
rails with the panel) you'd just leave off the panel node like we've
always done. Assuming folks like this series in general, I'll try to
improve the wording for v2.

Ah, that makes sense. I guess we need to add an include of that file
from the elan and goodix bindings. The hid-over-i2c.yaml already has
it, though. I'm not 100% sure the existing "hid-over-i2c" driver in
Linux actually calls the function to parse all those properties, but I
guess that's a Linux problem and not a DT bindings problem. ;-)
