[PATCH 2/2] input: touchscreen: novatek-nvt-ts: Add support for NT36672A e7t variant

From: Gianluca Boiano

Date: Tue Jan 20 2026 - 14:36:22 EST


Add support for the Novatek NT36672A touchscreen variant found on the
Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro (tulip) which uses a different wake_type value
(0x02 instead of 0x01).

The touchscreen was failing to initialize with error -5 due to the
wake_type parameter mismatch during probe. This adds a new chip data
structure for the e7t variant with the correct wake_type value.
