Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Using `MT_CLS_DEFAULT` instead of a Win8 PTP class disables critical Windows 8 Precision Touchpad (PTP) quirks, causing severe regressions in touchpad functionality (such as broken clickpad button tracking and stuck finger releases).

HID: multitouch: add support for Goodix GXTP7863 touchpad

This commit adds the Goodix GXTP7863 touchpad controller to the mt_devices[]
table so it is claimed by hid-multitouch instead of hid-generic. It uses
MT_CLS_DEFAULT to prevent the vendor telemetry collection (0xFF01) from
being mapped to an input node.

[Severity: High]
Does using MT_CLS_DEFAULT here disable necessary Windows 8 Precision
Touchpad quirks?

While it successfully prevents export_all_inputs from mapping the telemetry
node, MT_CLS_DEFAULT lacks quirks like MT_QUIRK_WIN8_PTP_BUTTONS and
MT_QUIRK_STICKY_FINGERS.

Without MT_QUIRK_WIN8_PTP_BUTTONS, will mt_sync_frame() fail to emit
BTN_LEFT events and break physical left-clicks?

Without MT_QUIRK_STICKY_FINGERS, will mt_touch_report() fail to arm the
release_timer, potentially leaving touches stuck if the firmware drops a
release report?

The file-level documentation in mt_devices mentions that there is no
point in adding a device with MT_CLS_DEFAULT. Is there a better way to
ignore the vendor telemetry collection without losing the PTP quirks?
