What I'm missing here / in the commit msg of
"input: touchscreen: add core support for Goodix Berlin Touchscreen IC"

is an explanation why this is a new driver instead of adding
support to the existing goodix.c code.

I assume you have good reasons for this, but it would be good
if you can write the reasons for this down.

Regards,

Hans
