FWIW: I'm not sure if any controller exists that actually supports 12,
but the bits are layed out in a way that it would be possible. :-)

I don't mind having the newlines but also don't mind removing them,
will drop them in v2!

Given your question I guess "padding" might be the wrong word here.
Basically the driver we based this on reads this config in a
semi-obfuscated way like this:

char data[12];
i2c_himax_read(..., data, 12, ...);
rx_num = data[0];
/* ... */
x_res = data[6]*256 + data[7];
/* ... */

data[10] and data[11] are not used in the vendor code, so we don't know
what is encoded there, if there is something encoded there, if only on
some models or only on some firmware versions.

I would prefer to keep the read/write operations similar to the vendor
driver. Who knows if there are peculiar firmware versions that would
fail if the read size is not correct. And maybe there is actually
interesting data in there?

Maybe "unknown" would be more clear than "padding"?

Yes, it's really like that. If you look closely the __le16 is also the
only 16-bit number that isn't aligned properly. I guess for the
"protocol designers" this fields was maybe not a 16-bit number but two
separate fields. No idea what they were thinking.

I think the same answer as above applies here. Additionally here, the
packet format seems to be intentionally 4-byte/32-bit aligned (see
comment in hx852x_handle_events()) so I would say it makes sense to also
read an aligned size from the controller.

As far as I know the SMBus standard and API is limited to reading a
maximum of 32 bytes (I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX). With >= 6 fingers the touch
packet sizes will exceed that.

Regmap could maybe work, but I think it does not really fit. The I2C
interface here does not provide a consistent register map. Problem is,
for regmap_config we would need to define "reg_bits" and "val_bits".
This does not really exist here: The commands are usually sent without
any arguments, sometimes with a single byte (HX852X_REG_SRAM_SWITCH) and
sometimes with a word (HX852X_REG_SRAM_ADDR). There isn't a specific
register set with values here but more like random "commands".

Since SMBus doesn't allow reading more than 32 bytes and regmap does not
fit I think this custom but fairly standard routine is necessary. :/

Thanks for your suggestions regarding the error handling / return codes.
For v2 I will play with the different options you gave and look which
one feels best. :-)

Right. However, unsigned long is necessary for using it with
for_each_set_bit(), which wants a pointer to an unsigned long.
I can change it for key_pressed though.
