I do not think it makes sense to merge Ilitek and Elan into a single
binding. The only thing that they have in common is that we are trying
to reuse drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid-of-elan.c to handle reset timings
(which is also questionable IMO).

Maybe if we had a single unified binding for HID-over-I2C touchscreens
then combining would make more sense, at least to me...

Thanks.
