Hope everyone else agrees ;) > I'd love to see a generic touchscreen driver being an iio consumer! However, I've already a case that can't be handled unfortunately. I posted ~2 years ago a patch series[1] for touchscreen support for Allwinner SoCs that are using their ADC (also) for touchscreen purpose. It's been a very long time, I'm trying the hardest I can with my "IIRC-skills". There are several problems: - Data is stored in one register as a queue following this scheme: X @t=0 coord, Y @t=0 coord, X @t=1 coord, Y @t=1 coord, X @t=2 coord, Y @t=2 coord, etc... Thus, I suppose I've only one channel and not two for coordinates. - The first data stored after an up event is absolutely unreliable so I have to flush it, thus I need to use another API call to have the touchscreen driver do some logic with a whole queue only when it's after an up event (it doesn't really make sense to do so in the IIO driver, does it?). - This up event is an interrupt.. that is configurable from the same set of registers than for the ADC, so I need an mfd, What are your thoughts (and maybe workarounds?) on those issues?
