The following series replaces the current busy loop touchscreen implementation for i.MX28/i.MX23 SoCs by a fully interrupt driven implementation.
Since i.MX23 and i.Mx28 silicon differs, the existing implementation can be used for the i.MX28 SoC only. So, the first two patches of this series move the i.MX28 specific definitions out of the way. The third patch simplifies the register access to make it easier to add the i.MX23 support. Then the i.MX23 specific definitions are added, also the code to distinguish both SoCs at run-time. Up to here the existing touchscreen driver will now run on an i.MX23 Soc as well. When the i.MX23 SoC is running from battery it seems not to be a good idea to run a busy loop to detect touches and their location. The fourth patch adds a fully interrupt driven implementation which makes use of the built-in delay and multiple sample features of the touchscreen controller. This will reduce the interrupt load to a minimum. The last patch in this series just removes the existing busy loop implementation. Still some restrictions/questions: - the touchscreen part is yet tested on i.MX23 SoC only - touchscreen parametrisation ability is provided (with fixed values for now) but should be done via device tree. Some recommendations how to define the bindings would be helpful - has someone a good idea how to implement a reliable pressure measurement if the resistances of the touchscree's plates are unknown? Changes since v3: - split adding register access functions and i.MX23 support into two patches Changes since v2: - useless debug output removed Changes since v1: - adding register access functions to make the existing code more readable - adding some functions to distinguish the SoCs at run-time to avoid if-else contructs whenever differences in the register layout between i.MX23 and i.MX28 must be handled Comments are welcome.
