This sounds like as if there is no device connected to the i2c bus. For
our implementation we connected the touchscreen to the MIPI DSI
connector. The i2c mmio region and the irq are board revision dependent,
since other pins are connected:

For revision B3, which is default on Genode:
mmio: 0x30a20000 irq: 67

for revision A1:
mmio: 0x30a40000 irq: 69

These settings can be configured in:
repos/dde_linux/recipes/raw/drivers_interactive-imx8q_evk/drivers.config

The bus you are using is connected to ov5640_mipi, which is the camera
mipi port. This kind  of information you can find in the Linux device
tree (see link in http://genodians.org/ssumpf/2020-09-30-mipi_touch). So
if nothing is connected there, i2c will not work.

Regards,

Sebastian
