[0/2] novatek-nvt-ts: add support for NT36672A touchscreen

Extend the novatek touchscreen driver to support NT36672A chip which
is found in phones like Xiaomi Poco F1 [1]. Added devicetree support for
the driver and used i2c chip data to handle the variation in chip id and
wake type. Also added vcc and iovcc regulators which are used to power
the touchscreen hardware.

touchscreen "controller" would be correct I think. I will fix it in v2.

I am not sure I understand this correctly. Help me a bit here. For 
context, in mainline there is an existing driver for the novatek nvt 
touchscreen controller. The driver did not have devicetree support. It 
only had a i2c_device_id "NVT-ts". I don't know what is the variant of 
that Novatek touchscreen controller. To use the driver in Xiaomi Poco 
F1, I introduced a devicetree compatible for it "novatek,nvt-ts". The 
However, the Novatek touchscreen controller present in Xiaomi Poco F1 is 
"NT36672A" which has a different chip id than the one in existing 
driver. So I created a separate compatible for this touchscreen 
controller variant "novatek,nt36672a-ts". I used compatible data to 
differentiate the two variants. Since there are two variants, I am 
mentioning both here.

Between, the chip_id and wake_type are the only values that changes 
between these two variants. And these are only checked during the probe 
and is not used anywhere else in the code. If we remove this sanity 
check during probing, then there is no need for two variants and we can 
just keep the generic "novatek,nvt-ts".

Kindly let me know what is the correct thing to do here? How this should 
be handled? I will be happy to address it in v2.
