Hello Dmitry,

thanks for your quick feedback, a few questions below:

OK, I'll switch to u32 throughout (also for the float, I'll explain in a
commment). However, I haven't found a single other touchscreen driver
which uses __le32, even though they all probably process raw wire data -
can you suggest an example?

OK.

Intention seems clearer to me with parentheses, but if this doesn't
conform to coding style, I'll fix it.

Something like this example from ucb1400_ts?

        error = input_register_device(ucb->ts_idev);
        if (error)
                goto err_free_irq;

        return 0;

err_free_irq:
        free_irq(ucb->irq, ucb);
err_free_devs:
        input_free_device(ucb->ts_idev);
err:
        return error;


Best regards, Florian
