While this works, "synaptics_i2c" is not a well-formed DT compatible string,
we should do it right.
Please submit three patches:
a) one patch add "syna" as the vendor string in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt
As this is a publicly traded company, we use the stock ticker
symbol by convention. Cc the patch to devicetree@vger.kernel.org
for review, but I can merge it along with the dts patch if nobody
else does
b) a patch to add an of_device_id match table to
drivers/input/mouse/synaptics_i2c.c, with the proper name of the
device. Ideally, this would be the full name of the component that
is used here, something like "syna,abc12345-touchscreen". If you
have no way of finding out the real name, "syna,i2c-touchscreen"
will have to suffice.
c) This patch, with the correct string used for compatible.
