In kernel v6.4, a basic novatek touchscreen driver was introduced [1].
I was able to tweak IT a bit (add devicetree compatible, regulator 
support, remove chip id hardcode) and get it properly working in my 
Xiaomi Poco F1 which has Novatek NT36672A touchscreen. Probably the 
other ICs will also work. So, do we really need a separate touchscreen 
driver? Maybe the existing one can be improved to add more features if 
needed?

Personally I have been looking forward to the v10 of this patchseries :) 
Thanks for working on this! But, yeah, we need to decide if we need this 
to be a separate driver.
