Ok, I had some time to do some tests again. I used an ARM Chromebook
(Exynos Peach Pi) that has an I2C touchpad (Atmel maXTouch).

Tested the following cases:

1) Driver without OF device ID table (only a I2C table with a
"maxtouch" entry) and DTS defining a device node with a
"atmel,maxtouch" compatible string. This is the case without any of
the patches in this series.

$ modinfo drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.ko | grep maxtouch
alias:          i2c:maxtouch

$ grep maxtouch /sys/devices/platform/soc/12e00000.i2c/i2c-8/8-004b/uevent
OF_COMPATIBLE_0=atmel,maxtouch
MODALIAS=i2c:maxtouch

2) Driver without OF device ID table (only a I2C table with a
"maxtouch" entry) and DTS defining a device node with a
"atmel,maxtouch", "generic,maxtouch" compatible string. This is the
case when platform maintainers merge the DTS patches without the
driver patch.

$ modinfo drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.ko | grep maxtouch
alias:          i2c:maxtouch

$ grep maxtouch /sys/devices/platform/soc/12e00000.i2c/i2c-8/8-004b/uevent
OF_COMPATIBLE_0=atmel,maxtouch
OF_COMPATIBLE_1=generic,maxtouch
MODALIAS=i2c:maxtouch

3) Driver with an OF device ID table (with a "generic,maxtouch" entry)
and DTS defining a device node with a "atmel,maxtouch" compatible
string. This is the case when the driver patch is merged without the
DTS patches.

$ modinfo drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.ko | grep maxtouch
alias:          of:N*T*Cgeneric,maxtouchC*
alias:          of:N*T*Cgeneric,maxtouch
alias:          i2c:maxtouch

$ grep maxtouch /sys/devices/platform/soc/12e00000.i2c/i2c-8/8-004b/uevent
OF_COMPATIBLE_0=atmel,maxtouch
MODALIAS=i2c:maxtouch

4) Driver with an OF device ID table (with a "generic,maxtouch" entry)
and DTS defining a device node with a "atmel,maxtouch",
"generic,maxtouch" compatible string. This is the case when both the
DTS and driver patches are merged.

$ modinfo drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.ko | grep maxtouch
alias:          of:N*T*Cgeneric,maxtouchC*
alias:          of:N*T*Cgeneric,maxtouch
alias:          i2c:maxtouch

$ grep maxtouch /sys/devices/platform/soc/12e00000.i2c/i2c-8/8-004b/uevent
OF_COMPATIBLE_0=atmel,maxtouch
OF_COMPATIBLE_1=generic,maxtouch
MODALIAS=i2c:maxtouch

For all cases module autoload, driver probe and evtest worked for me.

You said that (3) doesn't work but I don't understand why is failing
for you. Probably I'm missing something.

Best regards,
Javier
