Input: rmi4 - Move sensor initialization into own function for F12

This commit refactors the F12 probe logic by extracting the sensor
initialization sequence into a separate helper function,
rmi_f12_sensor_init(). This reduces the size of rmi_f12_probe() and makes
the code more structured.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed a potential out-of-bounds heap
read when f12 processes objects.

In rmi_f12_attention(), we advance the pointer by data1_offset but pass the
full valid_bytes without adjusting it:

drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_f12.c:rmi_f12_attention() {
    ...
    if (f12->data1)
        rmi_f12_process_objects(f12,
                                &sensor->data_pkt[f12->data1_offset],
                                valid_bytes);
    ...
}

Then in rmi_f12_process_objects(), we read object coordinates:

drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_f12.c:rmi_f12_process_objects() {
    ...
    obj->x = get_unaligned_le16(&data1[1]);
    ...
}

Could a malicious device over I2C/SPI specify a non-zero Data0 register size
(offsetting Data1) and a large number of fingers, causing the loop to read
data1_offset bytes past the end of the sensor->data_pkt heap allocation?

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but could a malicious hardware
device trigger a kernel panic via division by zero?

In rmi_f12_read_sensor_tuning(), if the device returns 0 for the DPM
resolution:

drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_f12.c:rmi_f12_read_sensor_tuning() {
    ...
    sensor->x_mm = sensor->max_x / dpm_resolution;
    sensor->y_mm = sensor->max_y / dpm_resolution;
    ...
}

Does the driver need to check if dpm_resolution is zero before performing this
division?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but could this code leak uninitialized kernel
stack memory to userspace?

In rmi_f12_read_sensor_tuning(), we read item->reg_size bytes into the buf
stack array:

drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_f12.c:rmi_f12_read_sensor_tuning() {
    ...
    ret = rmi_read_block(rmi_dev, fn->fd.control_base_addr + offset,
                         buf, item->reg_size);
    ...
    if (rmi_register_desc_has_subpacket(item, 0)) {
        sensor->max_x = get_unaligned_le16(&buf[offset]);
        sensor->max_y = get_unaligned_le16(&buf[offset + 2]);
        offset += 4;
    }
    ...
}

If a malicious device specifies a small reg_size (e.g., 1 byte) but indicates
via the subpacket_map that subpacket 0 exists, could the unconditional reads
for max_x and max_y read past the initialized portion of buf?
