Please don't.
If the user space wants to talk to the device, use the plain hidraw
interface. Adding such a new API would mean that you need to add
documentation for it, maintain it undefinitely (even if your new user
space don't use it anymore, some people might still rely on it), and
if you have a slightly different chip on your panel, you will have to
patch the kernel, and backport it to stable, and ask your customer to
use either a patched kernel or wait for this to hit them (which takes
several months).
While if you use hidraw, as soon as you have a different chip, you fix
the userspace, ship this to your customer and you are done.
Cheers,
Benjamin
