Some Broadcom bluetooth boards use the compatible of the root node (see
btbcm_get_board_name in drivers/bluetooth/btbcm.c) which would be "apple,jXXX"
for Apple Silicon. I believe the Broadcom WiFi driver has similar logic as well
which marcan had to extend to instead of "brcm,board-type" because different
WiFi boards can me matched to different Apple Silicon boards. I don't think
that's the case for this touchscreen though.
