These ICs support SPI and I2C interfaces, up to 10 finger touch, stylus and gesture events.
This driver is derived from the Goodix gtx8_driver_linux available at [1] and only supports the GT9886 and GT9896 ICs present in the Xiaomi Mi 9T and Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro smartphones. The current implementation only supports Normandy and Yellowstone type ICs, aka only GT9886 and GT9896. It is also limited to I2C only, since I don't have a device with GTX8 over SPI at hand. Adding support for SPI should be fairly easy in the future, since the code uses a regmap. Support for advanced features like: - Firmware updates - Stylus events - Gesture events - Nanjing IC support is not included in current version. The current support requires a previously flashed firmware to be present. As I did not have access to datasheets for these ICs, I extracted the addresses from a couple of config files using a small tool [2]. The addresses are identical for the same IC families in all configs I observed, however not all of them make sense and I stubbed out firmware request support due to this.
