AD7142 and AD7147 are integrated capacitance-to-digital converters
(CDCs) with on-chip environmental calibration for use in systems
requiring a novel user input method. The AD7142 and AD7147 can interface
to external capacitance sensors implementing functions such as buttons,
scrollwheels, sliders, touchpads and so on.

The chips don't restrict the specific usage. Depending on the hardware
connection, one special target board can include one or several these
components. The platform_data for the device's "struct device" holds
these information. The data-struct defined in head file descript the
hardware feature of button/scrollwheel/slider/touchpad components on
target boards, which need be filled in the arch/mach-/.

As the result, the driver is independent of boards. It gets the
components layout from the platform_data, registers related devices,
fullfills the algorithms and state machines for these components and
report related input events to up level.
