Yeah, I thought about it.  ...but at the moment I'm not convinced it's
really any cleaner and I think there's very little shared code.  In
the goodix case, I don't want to specify the extra regulator or the
timings or even the hid descriptor address.  In the non-goodix case I
don't want the goodix properties.  It also sounded as if Benjamin's
preferred solutions involved having two separate files.  I'll wait for
Benjamin's feedback here, though, and if he wants me to combine them
then I'll give it a shot for v5.
