I believe it would be better if you created a new binding document
instead of reusing this one -- the hardware part iseems to be a
different one and the firmware it runs seems to be behaving totally
differently than the usual ENE firmware [1].

[1] This eneec.c seems to be coming from ENE, so I'm assuming it's a
good enough description of how their firmware behaves:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lkundrak/linux-mmp3-dell-ariel.git/tree/drivers/input/serio/eneec.c

Cheers
