XPS 13 9305, Linux, Fingerprint scanner

Question

lsusb detects

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 27c6:5335 Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Goodix Fingerprint Device

i have tried the libfprint-2-tod1-goodix along with libfprintd and libfprintd-tod but when i try libfprint-enroll, it says to no device detected. Additionally it seems the 9305 seems to be a different sensor from the 9310 which is supported by the ubuntu binary. So the only conclusion I can come to is that the binary does't support the 9305 sensor. In which case I kindly request you to add support for it.

Dell supports only Windows 10 and 11 on this model -- not Linux.

well that's bad, because the primary reason I bought the xps 13 is their history of good linux support.

I'd also appreciate driver support on linux.

I would love support for this as well. I use Ubuntu 22.04 on this laptop regularly and not being able to use the fingerprint sensor is a big inconvenience.
