Hi Mark,

Thanks for reviewing.

My intention is to enable or disable these properties on a platform 
basis. Dribble packets could be enabled on platforms which have issues 
reliably reporting data. Dribble packets report multiple finger lift 
events when a finger leaves the touchpad. The default will be to disable 
them, but if a platform does not reliably report data (examples we have 
observed are issues with the I2C controller) then the additional finger 
lift events could avoid fingers from becoming "stuck" when the host does 
not receive a finger lift event.

Similarly, this property was added to disable this functionality on a 
particular platform where it was causing interference.

Since there properties are set in firmware which is generally configured 
per platform I went ahead and added them to the device tree bindings.

Sorry, Rob gave me similar feedback for previous properties. But, I must 
have forgotten when making this change. I can fix this if we decide to 
keep these properties in devicetree.

Thanks,
Andrew
