Hi Kyungmin,

DRV2665 IC drives piezo actuator which enables a wide variety of
high-resolution haptic effects, including feedback localized to
specific areas of the device, as well as vibrations and pulses that
change in frequency based on how the user is interacting with the
device. However it is not a vibra chip so I didn't put it under
input/misc/

It comes under the category of ICs like DRV8662:

Cheers,
Ameya.
