Correct I've double checked that both the i2c protocol and the
reset gpio binding are compatible. Devices using the focaltech-ft6236.txt
binding should work fine with the edt-ft5x06.c driver.

Now if someone can test and confirm that on actual hardware that would be
great...

And we probably want to remove
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/touchscreen/focaltech-ft6236.txt
and instead add the compatible string that defines to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/touchscreen/edt-ft5x06.txt

I can whip up a patch for that, but as said some testing on actual
hw would be good, preferably before I write said patch.

Regards,

Hans
