Yup,

checkpatch output is definitely a mix of automated
semi-competence and brain-deadness.

<shrug>  There's no great way to do this.

Parentheses around the longer expression work.

		error = goodix_i2c_read(ts->client,
					(GOODIX_READ_COOR_ADDR +
					 1 + GOODIX_CONTACT_SIZE),

Exceeding 80 columns may be better.
Leaving it alone would be OK too.

Maybe starting with 1 to be more similar
to the below would be better.

Sometimes it's better to exceed 80 columns or
maybe use temporaries.  Something like:

	u8 *tmp = point_data + 1;
	...

	for (i = 0; i < touch_num; i++, tmp += GOODIX_CONTACT_SIZE)
		goodix_ts_report_touch(ts, tmp);
