Drop the "edt,edt-ft5x06" string. If they really appear to be identical
from a programmer's perspective, choose a particular variant to be used
as the fallback.

There could be a future variant that would appear to match the x string
yet was completely incompatible with the expected programming interface.

That sounds fine to me.

Sounds good to me.
