For I2C HID devices which need a reset, we typically also
need reset timings, trying to do I2C transfers to the device directly
after the reset has been de-asserted typically will not work and
some touchscreen-model specific delay is necessary.

So far in the DT world this has been handled by touchscreen
vendor specific bindings:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/elan,ekth6915.yaml
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/focaltech,ft8112.yaml
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/ilitek,ili9882t.yaml

Which are all 3 handled by:

drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid-of-elan.c

Which has per compatible match-data with the reset timings.

You should probably extend drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid-of-elan.c
with support for the CRD touchscreen and either add a new
compatible to one of the existing 3 bindings; or if the touchscreen
controller IC is from a vendor without a binding yet maybe add
a new bindings file?

There also is:

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

which is handled by:

drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid-of-goodix.c

and is special in its own way.
