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?
Do you have your end outcome somewhere?

I can take a look and compare if anything's missing..

We'll see, I was hoping I could add firmware loading, SPI transport and
eventually pen support..
