You pointed to a whole directory of bindings, based on the context
below I assume you are talking about this:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/hid-over-i2c.yaml

If your controller is fully covered by hid-over-i2c.yaml binding then
I think you just need to add a new compatible to it. We already have
"wacom,w9013" there.

Otherwise follow examples such as:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/elan,ekth6915.yaml
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/goodix,gt7375p.yaml

that are also hid-over-i2c devices but require special power up/down
handling.

Thanks.
