To me it seemed more like they are just sorted in the order they were
added.

I only have a hacked up thing right now.

This is the one I'm using to test things:
http://git.kernel.org/wens/c/5c2c920429167a15b990a7cf8427705eec321134

About this one, it seems we can at least merge the device trees of
each product into just one. The touchscreen or trackpad (or lack thereof)
is probed by the kernel.


This one I only started looking into:
http://git.kernel.org/wens/c/42c21929aeb3c7ca7b0ce9cacb1d0ff915d3c783

About the second one, AFAIK the device tree descriptions are incomplete.
Only one of the trackpad options has the regulator supply described.
The regulator itself is marked as always on, so things currently work.
Some work will need to be put in to research the schematics and test
whether things do work correctly.

I think that adds some unnecessary complexity, and more lingering devices
in the system. These platform devices are not removed.

Thanks!
