Ok, got it.I will modify documentation so that only properties comes
under "required
properties" section.

Currently, default period and period passed from Device tree both
are same.I made an assumption here, if default period is less then
touch get sampled faster and report it to upper layer.As I am not I
will make this confirm with Texas instrument's engineers.

I gone through data sheet but not able to find any units for this
pressure field.
As per data sheet, we read pressure values from two ADC result
registers and these two registers are 8 bit long and hence provide
totally 16 bit pressure value.

Not much sure why this field is u16. I just referred a platform
data which mentioned field as u16 and accordingly add a DT
property. I am not seeing any harm to make this property u32.
I will make this property as u32.

As, these are numeric values, not sure about standard assignment
of these field. For DT properties, I used these field same as from
platform data of touch screen driver.
I will make sure about this Texas Instrument's engineers.

Got it, I will change this to "of_get_child_by_name".

Similarly as above, I just referred a platform data which mentioned
this field as u16 and accordingly add a DT property for same.
I am not seeing any harm to make this property u32. I will make this
property u32.
