I posted a couple of patches that allowed me to have the atmel touchpad working
on Peach Pit. I found two issues while testing the driver:

a) The device keycode event capabilities are hardcoded in the downstream Chrome
OS driver while the mainline driver expect these to be defined in the DT. The
property is called "linux,gpio-keymap" since it seems that the actual
implementation is using a set of GPIOs. But this is handled by the firmware
since the kernel just read a status register from the atmel T9 object.

I found the property confusing at first since it didn't have anything to do with
Linux GPIO so posted a patch to add an example to the DT binding doc in order to
make it easier to understand [0].

b) The driver overwrites the edge/level flags parsed by OF core and expects that
the IRQ type will be passed using platform data. The downstream Chrome OS driver
defaults the type to IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING if this is not provided while the
mainline does not have a default so it's just 0 (IRQ_TYPE_NONE).

This is fixed by reading back the IRQ type from the struct irq_data when parsing
the DT data [1].

The DTS changes to make the atmel touchpad work on Peach Pit were posted in [2].
Changes for Pi were included as well since it should be the same but it was not
tested since I don't have access to that machine, testing will be highly
appreciated.
