The primary part used on the board is AtMega88PA. Details of that SoC
are public:
http://www.atmel.com/devices/ATMEGA88PA.aspx

I don't see why the exact chip is relevant to the driver. The driver
is just talking to an I2C device that reports button events. The
protocol across the I2C determines what this driver has to do and that
protocol is implemented by the on-board firmware (supplied by Atmel).
Any AVR CPU could implement this same protocol.

Can we call this "atmel,qtouch-buttons-v2" or something like that?

I personally don't have anything invested in any particular name. Feel
free to suggest a different one. I'm perfectly happy with any color
paint on the shed.

Is "qtouch-buttons@51" ok?
