The Android Kernel says that this is the cy8cmbr3xxx. I
downloaded the datasheets, but it doesn't have any similarity
with the device. Which means that on tm2 we don't the
cy8cmbr3xxx bot something else that I even doubt comes from
cypress, but I strongly believe it's a dedicated hardware.

Now we have two choices:

1. drop support because we are not 100% sure on the device and
supplier.

2. call it Samsung and provide support anyway as, at the end, it
is a samsung hardware.

With Jaechul we chose option 2.

Eventually, Jaechul can assign the device to cypress, but the
name has to remain tm2-touchkey. Something like this:

compatible = "cypress,tm2-touchkey";

What do you think?
